A tropic wind across the sea

And spices drifting in the breeze

That takes me to a distant shore

In my dream, Singapore

And then I see the harbour lights

A floating city in the night

It's over this I slowly sweep

Until I'm sure that, though I sleep

The lion city calls to me

Chorus:

Take me home

I've been gone away too long

Dreams and wishes, take me home

Where I'll never be alone

How I miss you, tropical

Evenings equatorial

Where the lazy comets fall

Over nights in Singapore

Monsoons that brings a squall of rain

Will try to douse my spirit's flame

Which blazes as the showers pour,

Light my dream, Singapore

And when the rain is swept away

The twilight calm descends again

Then stars reflected on the streets

Begin to lull me back to sleep

The garden city calls to me

Repeat Chorus Twice

Over nights in Singapore

Take me home

Take me home

Take me home

Singapore
