Lyrics

I long to be in London now
In London now, the Autumn's hanging in the breeze.

I long to hear on every bough
Starling and sparrows sharing gossip in the trees.

The riverside
At eventide
Will glow when day's done.
The stars appear.
The air is clear....believe it.
That fog's long gone from London.

So, I wish somehow
To be in London now!

And Patis chic is not my style
New York hangs heavy in its hot and humid clime.

I never sought a tropic isle.
I'd soon get tired of sand and water all the time.

I long to linger
At the windows
In the West End
While strolling to
A rendez-vous...with someone
Who's much more than a best friend.

So, I wish and how
I were in London now!
