PORTOFINO
(Mark Spiro / Jack White)

Engelbert Humperdinck


Long ago I used to know where love was found
A place in the sun
Long before this heart of mine had broken down
You were the one
But now you're a lonely memory
My heartache will never end
Though all of those nights are far away
I wish I were with you again.

Portofino I still remember the sun in your hair
Portofino marriage to music that danced in the air
Portofino I want you back in my arms
'Cause every time I close my eyes
I'm holding you in the dark
In Portofino where you broke my heart.

I think of your face and still it can take my breath away
After so long
And though I'll be lonely living for only yesterday
I'll get along though now you're a faded memory
My heartache will never end
This unforgotten melody keeps playing over and over again.

Portofino I still remember the sun in your hair
Portofino marriage to music that danced in the air
Portofino I want you back in my arms
'Cause every time I close my eyes
I'm holding you in the dark
In Portofino where you broke my heart
In Portofino where you broke my heart.
