SPANISH NIGHTS
(Roy Orbison / Joe Melson)


Roy Orbison - 1975


Starlit Spanish nights
Little village lights
Are still on my mind
In a small caf�
We danced the night away
Just lost in loving time

When I left that day
I heard you cry and say
If you find someone new
Who breaks your heart in two
You know what to do
Come back, I'll still be true
To Spanish nights and you

I can't forget the day
This old boat steamed away
Taking me to see
A world not meant for me
Now my search is through
I'm coming home
To Spanish nights and you

Magic Spanish moons
Sleepy afternoons
Fill my memory
Walking hand in hand
By the sea and sand
I know you'll wait for me

Feeling all alone
Now I'm almost home
This time I know I'll stay
The Lord has heard me pray
I have heard Him say
Love her all your days
Dream your Spanish nights away

I can see those harbour lights
At last I'm holding you
Under Spanish nights
