Lyrics: You Belong To Me
See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to meSee the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
But remember when a dream appears
You belong to meIll be so alone without you
Maybe you’ll be lonesome too… and blueFly the ocean in a silver plane
Watch the jungle when its wet with rain
Just remember till you’re home again
You belong to meIll be so alone without you
Maybe you’ll be lonesome too… and blueFly the ocean in a silver plane
Watch the jungle when its wet with rain
Just remember till youre home again
You belong to me
