I took a plane out to London, by the Fulham rd there I will be
A new year's fast approaching, celebrating my girl and me
The last was a year worth forgetting, hard times they followed me
Now laughter has conquered the sorrow
We're singing at home in Chelsea
I've travelled the east and I've travelled the west
Nowhere is fairer for me
Than the rainy streets of old London
And the girl that I came home to see
Took the 14 to the west end, to catch up with my old buddy
I stood on the stage of the theatre, flooded with old memories
Old friends and old places together
The laughter, the girls and parties
Each moment we shared had its own place in time
This moment is here for me
I've travelled the east and I've travelled the west
Nowhere is fairer for me
Than the rainy streets of old London
And the girl that I came home to see
I stood on the bridge by Westminster
Looked at the view before me
The river that flowed underneath
Deep in its tide of history
There never a place like your home town
No matter where it may be
The city that I grew up in
Londons where I meant to be
I've travelled the east and I've travelled the west
Nowhere is fairer for me
Than the rainy streets of old London
And the girl that I came home to see
Than the rainy streets of old London
And the girl that I came home to see
