Lyrics

On the flight home to you
Sure hope I don't miss my connection
Nevertheless, if I do
It's only a matter of time
Until my arrival chez nous
I'm heading in the right direction
No turbulence-the sky is blue
It's only a matter of time.
When I come home
With my arms around you
I'll surround you
Unplug the phone
And roll down the blinds
When I come home
We'll work on our sunburns
As the world turns
Mangoes for breakfast
Me and you
Definitely chez nous.
It won't take long
An hour or two
Until we're alone
Chez nous
Wear a sarong
I can undo
As soon as we're home
Chez nous.
Gardenias and jasmine in bloom
The rhythm of rain in the palm trees
A synchronized swim under moon-
Light only a matter of time
On the flight home to you
Sure hope I don't miss my connection
Nevertheless, if I do
It's only a matter of time
