I've seen the snow white mountains of Alaska

I've sailed along the rivers of Peru

I've seen the world and all its Seven Wonders

But I've never seen a wonder like you

I've stood upon the pyramids of Egypt

Far away across the ocean blue

I've seen the island beauties of Hawaii

But I've never seen a beauty like you

I've gazed at the White Cliffs Of Dover

There's not a place I didn't see

Now that my travels are over

I wish you had been there with me

I've seen the pretty dancing girls of Siam

The happy Polynesian people too

But they're not as happy as I am

'Cause they haven't got a wonder like you

I've gazed at the White Cliffs Of Dover

There's not a place I didn't see

Now that my travels are over

I wish you had been there with me

I've seen the pretty dancing girls of Siam

The happy Polynesian people too

But they're not as happy as I am

'Cause they haven't got a wonder like you

They haven't got a wonder like you

No, they haven't got a wonder like you

No, they haven't got a wonder like you
