Story Behind The Song
My girlfriend and I were hiking along a river and came to a beautiful area with a waterfall and a pool below it. I had been there many times before and I exclaimed that it was my favorite place in the whole, wide world. Then I looked at her and said, "No. Here is my favorite place. Right here in your arms." I put my arms around her and held her gently as we savored the beauty of love amid our surroundings.

Lyrics
My Favorite Place © 2013 D.W. Folsom
I love to sail on the ocean
I love the sand and the sea
I love the breeze as it blows through the trees
But there's a place I'd much rather be
I sure miss Acapulco
And I'd like to fly back to Rome
I miss the bright lights of Paris at night
But the best place I've ever known
My favorite place in the world
My favorite place in the wor-er-erld
My favorite place in the whole, wide world
Is right here in your arms
I like to hike in the mountains
I love to wade through a stream
I love the sight of the stars late at night
But there's a special place of which I dream
My favorite place in the world
My favorite place in the wor-er-erld
My favorite place in the whole, wide world
Is right here in your arms
Oh, the South still calls my heart
And the West pulls at my soul
But there's no place that has such a hold on me
Nowhere else that I feel whole
My favorite place in the world
My favorite place in the wor-er-erld
My favorite place in the whole, wide world
Is right here in your arms
