New Mayfair Orchestra
So, give me the moon
And an old Spanish tune
Let me linger again
When love came to me on a little balcony in Spain.
I hadn't the right
But the spell of the night
Made me kiss her again
When love came to me on a little balcony in Spain.
At dawn
I found she had gone
I didn't take long to discover, that
She had somebody else for her lover!
I lost my chance
That's the way of romance
Now I linger in vain
Where love came to me on a little balcony in Spain.
