Anyplace Is Paradise
Love's Haven: Elvis's Musical Journey Through Paradise
Lyrics
Whether I'm riding down a highway
Expressing the experience of being on a highway
Or walkin' down a street
Expressing the experience of walking down a street
It makes no difference, baby doll
Highlighting that the location doesn't matter when meeting the person
Wherever we chance to meet
Emphasizing that the meeting place is incidental
Each time I hold your little hand
Describing the positive feeling when holding hands
It makes me feel so very nice
Expressing the pleasure derived from holding hands
Anyplace is paradise
Stating that any place becomes paradise when with the person
When I'm with you
Reiterating the idea that being with the person makes any place wonderful
Whether we're standin' on your doorstep
Whether at the doorstep, indicating various locations
Or sittin' in a park
Whether sitting in a park, another location reference
Or strollin' down a shady lane
Whether strolling down a shady lane, emphasizing diverse settings
Or dancin' in the dark
Whether dancing in the dark, yet another setting
Where I can take you in my arms
Expressing the desire to hold the person in one's arms
And look into your pretty eyes
Emphasizing the beauty of the person's eyes
Anyplace is paradise
Reiterating that paradise is anywhere when with the person
When I'm with you
Underscoring the joy of being with the person
Give me a cave up in the mountains
Desiring a cave in the mountains or a shack by the sea
Or a shack down by the sea
Expressing the idea that location doesn't matter as long as the person is present
And I will be in Heaven, honey
Indicating that being with the person is heavenly
If you are there with me
Stating the condition for feeling heavenly
Where I can kiss your pretty lips
Expressing the desire to kiss the person's lips
See the love light in your eyes
Observing the love light in the person's eyes
Anyplace is paradise
Reiterating that paradise is anywhere when with the person
When I'm with you
Reiterating the joy of being with the person
Baby, I'd live deep in the jungle
Expressing willingness to live deep in the jungle for the person
And sleep up in a tree
Expressing the willingness to sleep up in a tree for the person
And let the rest of the world go by
Indicating a willingness to let go of the rest of the world for the person
If you were there with me
Stating the condition for letting go of the world
Where I could love you all the time
Expressing the desire to love the person all the time
Baby, the jungle would be fine
Suggesting that even the jungle would be fine if with the person
Anyplace is paradise
Reiterating that paradise is anywhere when with the person
When I'm with you
Emphasizing the joy of being with the person
