In the musical arrangement, I have tried to combine the Bossa Nova with Chinese Lunar New Year
Parade Music, to create the overall ambience of a 1960's romantic movie theme.
It's free for listening. I hope you like it.

Shanghai to Seattle is a world away;
When the jet lifts off the runway,
I will miss you;

It doesn't matter where I go,
Or where I stay,
I want you here;
I want you near;
I want you now;

    Shanghai to Seattle,
    I still see you in the clouds;
    I reach for you each morning,
    And I search for you in crowds;

    It doesn't matter where I go,
    Or where I might stay;
    In Shanghai or Seattle,
    Well, it's just another day;

Flying back to Shanghai,
Maybe then Taipei;
Walking through the crowded markets,
I will miss you;

I fly away on Friday
To Saigon, Bombay;
I want you here;
I want you near;
I want you now;


    Shanghai to Seattle is a lonely state of mind;
    I try to find a book to read,
    To occupy my time;
    But when I fly away from you,
    I'm always flying blind;
    In Shanghai or Seattle,
    The music's out of time;
