DREAMT LIKE A GYPSY IN ROME

LOVED ALL NIGHT LONG IN VENICE

​

​BELLA BELLA STARLIGHT

OR WRAP ME IN THE COMFORT OF YOU 

PLACE ME IN THE LOVE OF OUR MEMORIES 

EVEN IF ITS JUST FOR A MOMENT OR TWO

​

BELLA BELLA STARLIGHT

DANCED ALL NIGHT LONG IN PRAGUE 

WHISPERED THROUGH THE LOVES OF LONDON

TIPTOEING THROUGH THE SKY

IM FEELING THE RAIN AND

AND WHEN THOSE STORMY SEAS 

WHEN THEY FALL INTO ME 

ILL BE AWAITING YOU

LIKE A LOVE LIKE A LOVER IN THE NIGHT

 

(INSTRUMENTALS)

AND WHEN THOSE NIGHTS SHINE 

THESE STARS OF MINE 

WILL BE DANCING THROUGH OUR DREAMS

 

AND WHEN THE WORLD GROWS OLD 

ILL STILL HAVE YOU TO HOLD 

FROM THE BREATH OF THE SKY

 

AND ILL BE RUNNING (YES I WILL) 

AND ILL BE RUNNING (YES WE CAN)

THROUGH THIS LOVE OF MINE
