There’s no place like beautiful Ontario in spring.

  • There’s no place like this where I’ve been
  • There’s no dream like this that I’ve seen
  • And there’s no home like this
  • No other place like this for me.
  • You’re my place to know
  • You’re my place to go
  • You’re my place to see
  • You’re my place to be
  • There’s nothing in this world
  • There’s nothing like you
