I was dwelling on the word Wonderful when words of an old familiar song came to mind: Wonderful copenhagen, from the musical Hans Christian Andersen (i havent seen it though). Searching for the lyrics again, i found this with words in the description. Will u share other songs with names of cities around the world?

I have posted this song on other places on this site recently, because the lead singer
has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour (cancer), so the band went on
a cross country tour which ended last Saturday at their possibly final show in their
hometown of Kingston, Ontario. The Canadian Broadcast Corporation aired the
live show globally, which I saw some of with my daughter. We both enjoyed it :)

So many people really love this band, and it occurs to me that I should
be asking my brothers and sisters here to pray for a miracle for this man.

This song is called Bobcaygeon which is a place in northern Ontario.
It won a Juno for single of the year in 1998 when it was released :D

I have been to Bobcaygeon. It is in what we call "cottage country."

Around the world I searched for you,
I travelled on when hope was gone to make a rendez-vous.
I knew someday, sometime, somehow,
I'd look at you and I would see the smile you're smiling now.
It might have been in County Down,
or in New York or gay Paris or even London town.
No more will I go all around the world,
For I have found my world in you!

This kind of sums up the generation I came of age in; such sweet memories :D

San Francisco by Scott McKenzie

[video=youtube;7I0vkKy504U]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7I0vkKy504U[/video]
If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there

For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair

All across the nation
Such a strange vibration
People in motion

There's a whole generation
With a new explanation
People in motion
People in motion

For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there


Songwriters
JOHN EDMUND & ANDREW PHILLIPS
