A Wonder Like You

Ricky Nelson


I've seen the snow-white mountains of Alaska 
I've sailed along the rivers of Peru 
I've seen the world and all its Seven Wonders 
But I've never seen a wonder like you  

I've stood upon the pyramids of Egypt 
Far away across the ocean blue 
I've seen the island beauties of Hawaii 
But I've never seen a beauty like you  

I've gazed at the White Cliffs Of Dover 
There's not a place I didn't see 
Now that my travels are over 
I wish you had been there with me  

I've seen the pretty dancing girls of Siam 
The happy Polynesian people, too 
But they're not as happy as I am 
'cause they haven't got a wonder like you

The happy Polynesian people, too 
But they're not as happy as I am 
'cause they haven't got a wonder like you  

They haven't got a wonder like you 
No, they haven't got a wonder like you 
No, they haven't got a wonder like you
