Come away with me now
Come and be happy
I’ll show you how.
Just come follow me.

I know a place where it’s safe and warm-
A place where we’re safe from every storm.

I know a place where it’s happy and gay
So come run away with me today.

Come away with me now
Come and be happy
I’ll show you how.
Just come follow me.

I know a place with both peace and love-
Where we waken to the cooing of the turtle dove.

I know a place where everyone is free
Where we might be who we’re meant to be.

Come away with me now
Come and be happy
I’ll show you how.
Just come follow me.

I know a place where everyone sings
And funeral bells never ring.

I know a place where they smile and dance
So come with me now, come take a chance.

Come away with me now
Come and be happy
I’ll show you how.
Just come follow me.

I know a place with skies so blue-
Where every word you hear is true.

I know a place where the rivers can laugh
And where shepherds have no need of there staffs.

Come away with me now
Come and be happy
I’ll show you how.
Just come follow me.

I know a place with rippling seas–
Where the wind dances through trees.

I know a place with rolling hills green
A place like you have never seen.

Come away with me now
Come and be happy
I’ll show you how.
Just come follow me.
