Let's Fly Away
Escape to Paradise: Bobby Short's Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
Let's fly away
Expressing a desire to embark on a journey or adventure.
And find a land that's warm and tropic,
Seeking a warm and tropical destination for the journey.
Where Roosevelt is not the topic
Expressing a preference for a place where political discussions, specifically about Roosevelt, are avoided.
All the live long day!
Desiring this escape throughout the entire day.
Let's fly away
Reiteration of the desire to fly away.
And find a land that's so provincial,
Desiring a destination that is simple and unsophisticated.
We'll never hear what Walter Winchell
Expressing a wish to avoid hearing gossip or rumors, possibly from Walter Winchell.
Might be forced to say!
Emphasizing the intention to avoid unwanted information.
I'll make your life sublime,
Promising to bring joy and fulfillment to the partner's life.
Far across the blue.
Describing the distant and idyllic destination as sublime.
I'll take up all your time
Committing to spending quality time together in the new place.
Compromising you!
Acknowledging a willingness to make compromises for the sake of the relationship.
Let's not delay,
Stressing the urgency to embark on the journey without delay.
Make Mother Nature our Messiah,
Suggesting a natural and simple lifestyle, making nature the guiding principle.
New York is not for us,
Expressing a disinterest in New York and its fast-paced urban life.
Let's fly away!
Reiteration of the desire to fly away, emphasizing the need to escape the current environment.
I'll make your life sublime,
Repeating the commitment to bring fulfillment and joy to the partner's life.
Far across the blue.
Reiterating the description of the distant place as sublime and ideal.
I'll take up all your time
Affirming the dedication to spending time together.
Compromising you!
Reiterating the willingness to compromise for the relationship.
Let's not delay,
Repeating the urgency to take action and not delay the journey.
Make Mother Nature our Messiah,
Proposing a natural and simple lifestyle, with Mother Nature as a guiding force.
New York is not for us,
Reiterating the lack of interest in New York and its lifestyle.
Let's fly away,
Renewing the call to fly away, emphasizing the escape from the current undesirable situation.
Let's fly away!
Repetition for emphasis, closing the expression of the desire to escape and start anew.
