Silvery Moon

{corrected by Arno Bastin, 19-10-2022}

In a little village down the Spanish border
lives Maria, the girl I left behind
She is just that kind of woman
that in dreams I'll always keep in mind

She looks pretty and I won't forget her
I'm sure there's no one else for me to find
Her long black hair and eyes like burning fire in the night
Woe is me, 'cause that girl Maria I left behind

I remember how we danced under the silv'ry moon
while the Spanish guitars played that night our lovers tune
I remember how we kissed under the silv'ry moon
but I never realised I would miss her soon
(In a little Spanish town down by the border
lives a Spanish rose I always keep in mind)

In a little village down the Spanish border
lives Maria, the girl I left behind
I'm sure for always I'll adore her
the way she looked is always on my mind
When she left, it was like bells were ringing
in the sky the birds were singing high
Hold me tight, she said and her arms were open, open wide
Woe is me, 'cause that girl Maria I left behind

I remember how we danced under the silv'ry moon
While the Spanish guitars played that night our lovers tune
I remember how we kissed under the silv'ry moon
but I never realised I would miss her soon
(In a little Spanish town down by the border
lives a Spanish rose I always keep in mind)

I remember how we danced under the silv'ry moon,
while the Spanish guitars played that night our lovers tune
I remember how we kissed under the silv'ry moon
but I never realised I would miss her soon

I remember how we danced under the silv'ry moon
while the Spanish guitars played that night our lovers tune
