Song Backstory:

All music and lyrics are original.

In 2016, I wrote a jazz show tune. Today was perfect for redoing it and adding lyrics.

I was born at the end of the Rat Pack's peak years of popularity. I grew up with the songs, images, and movies.

Feeling sentimental...

Lyrics:

I've traveled this world
From New Jersey to Timbuktu
Trying to find my perfect love
In Melbourne and Sydney too

Paris lights and Tokyo nights
Rio beaches, mountains of Peru
Chased every dream and distant star
But none of them compared to you

I've been around the World
Met all kinds of people, it's true
Hearts of gold and eyes so blue
But there's nothing in this world like you

Years went by, the miles grew long
Still your memory pulled me through
Every road led back to where I belong
Right here in my heart with you

Now the wandering days are done
I'm coming home, my journey's through
No more searching under foreign skies
'Cause my true love was always you

I've been around the World
Met all kinds of people, it's true
Hearts of gold and eyes so blue
But there's nothing in this world like you

[Jazz Solo - Orchestra & Piano]

I've been around the World
Met all kinds of people, it's true
Now I'm coming home to you
'Cause there's nothing in this World like you

Nothing in this world... like you...
