Hi everyone

I am putting up the lyrics of this song sung by the old gentleman in American Idol. (please don't shed tears, folks!)

In my personal opinion, the song truly has a melody and lyrics of such simplicity but is "empowered with such great capacity to evoke strong emotions within the human hearts".


YOU BELONG TO ME (Patti Page)


See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling all the while
You belong to me

See the market place in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me

I'll be so lonesome without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
And blue

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me

Maybe you'll be lonesome too
And blue

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me

Maybe you'll be lonesome too
And blue

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me
