Chorus
I'll bring you windmills back from Rotterdam
I'll bring you castanets from Spain
A tiny Eifell Tower from Paris
For you to hang upon your chain
I'll bring you silver clogs from Tilburg
And a shamrock back from Corke
And one day I swear I will take you there
To see the Skyline of New York.

I've been on trains and boats and planes
And been to lands both far and wide
But all the wonders of the world can't ease the leaving you behind
I'd love to take you there to show you
All the places that I've done
Some day I will and so until we can travel there as one.

I'll bring you windmills back from Rotterdam
I'll bring you castanets from Spain
A tiny Eifell Tower from Paris
For you to hang upon your chain
I'll bring you silver clogs from Tilburg
And a shamrock back from Corke
And one day I swear I will take you there
To see the Skyline of New York.

So as we count the miss you times away
And add them up to miss you years
We'll look back on our adventures and recall them all with happy tears
So keep your spirits up, keep smiling
The miss you days won't be so long
For every time I go, in a way you know I've begun my journey home.

And I'll bring you windmills back from Rotterdam
I'll bring you castanets from Spain
A tiny Eifell Tower from Paris
For you to hang upon your chain
I'll bring you silver clogs from Tilburg
And a shamrock back from Corke
And one day I swear I will take you there
To see the Skyline of New York.
