Ooh hoo hoo
ooh-hoo-hoo hoo hoo
ooh hoo hoo hoo-hoo hoo hoo hoo
My countryside, you gave me everything you had
The sweet perfume of roses and the smell of baking bread
The black-tailed swallow on the wing and the villageschool so old
Your summerdays were blazing hot and your winters icy cold
Where the nightingales sing
Seagulls fly on the wing
Where we spent our youth so long ago
Where we played in the park
And we kissed in the dark
I will always stay here where I belong
Where the nightingales sing
Seagulls fly on the wing
I will always be here even when I'm gone
How I recall, our childhood passed away
Messin' around the backyard
Hide and seek we used to play
My pockets full of jellybeans
That felt like bars of gold
Your summerdays were blazing hot
And your winters icy cold
Where the nightingales sing
Seagulls fly on the wing
Where we spent our youth so long ago
(Long ago)
Where we played in the park
And we kissed in the dark
I will always stay here where I belong
Where the nightingales sing
Seagulls fly on the wing
I will always be here even when I'm gone
Where the nightingales sing
Seagulls fly on the wing
Where we spent our youth so long ago
(Ah-ah-ah)
Where we played in the park
Where we kissed in the dark
I will always stay here where I belong
Where the nightingales sing
Seagulls fly on the wing...
Songinformatie
De albumtrack Where The Church-Bells Still Ring lag ten grondslag aan dit nummer. De tekst van het nummer werd vanwege een fatale cafébrand gedeeltelijk veranderd en zo ontstond Where The Nightingales Sing.
Trivia
Het was oorspronkelijk de bedoeling om de single Keep Smiling uit te brengen; die werd echter gecanceld vanwege de cafébrand in Volendam die plaatsvond in de Nieuwjaarsnacht van 2000 op 2001 in café De Hemel (Het Hemeltje) in Volendam. Bij de brand vielen 14 doden en 200 ernstig gewonden.
