AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER (OUR LOVE AFFAIR)
By
Nasyid
***************
Our love affair is a wondrous thingThat we'll rejoice in remembering
Our love was born with our first embrace
And a page was torn out of time and space
Our love affair, may it always be
A flame to burn through eternity
So take my hand with a fervent prayer
That we may live and we may share
A love affair to remember
COME CLOSER TO ME
***************
Moonlight was made for a June nightAnd June nights were made , dear,
for love and romance
For heavenly kisses, for lips sweet and tender
On this night of splendour
You're so far away
Come closer to me so I can see
heaven in your eyes
Come closer to me so I can be
close to Paradise
Thrill me with your kisses
Let me learn what bliss is
Kiss me once and then we'll kiss and kiss again
And life will be divine
Come closer my dear
So I can hear
music in my heart
I've waited so long to hear
the song that youre love will start
Darling I'll adore you
Live my life just for you
All I ask is this
please give me one more kiss
and whisper you'll be mine
Come closer to me (etc...)
Hoy te estaba esperando
confiarte querida un
secreto de amor
Decirte bajito, bajito al oído
Muchas cosas lindas
Bien cerca de ti
Acercate más, y más, y mas
pero mucho mas
Y besame así, así, así
como besas tu
Pero besa pronto
Porque estou sufriendo
No lo estás tu viendo
Que lo estoy queriendo
sin quererlo tú
Acercate más, y más, y más
pero mucho más
Y besame así, así, así
como besas tu
Acaso pretendes a desesperar me
ven por Diós a darme
eso beso tuyo
que te pedí yo
Acercate más y más, y más (etc...)
A BLOSSOM FELL
***************
A blossom fell from off a treeIt settled softly on the lips you turned to me
The gypsies say and I know why
"A falling blossom only touches lips that lie"
A blossom fell and very soon
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon
I thought you loved me, you said you loved me
We planned together to dream forever
The dream has ended, for true love died
The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied
A blossom fell and very soon
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon
I thought you loved me, you said you loved me
We planned together to dream forever
The dream has ended, for true love died
The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied
I LOVE YOU FOR SENTIMENTAL REASONS
***************
I love you for sentimental reasonsI hope you do believe me
I'll give you my heart
I love you and you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part
I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling, I'm never lonely
Whenever you are in sight
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart
CALYPSO BLUES
***************
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by de ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad...
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad.
Fine calypso woman,
She cook me shrimp and rice,
Fine calypso woman,
She cook me shrimp and rice...
Dese yankee hot dogs
Don't treat me stomach very nice.
In Trinidad, one dollar buy
Papaya juice, banana pie,
Six coconut, one female goat,
An' plenty fish to fill de boat.
One bushel bread, one barrel wine,
An' all de town, she come to dine.
But here is bad, one dollar buy
Cup of coffee, ham on rye.
Me throat she sick from necktie,
Me feet hurt from shoes.
Me pocket full of empty,
I got Calypso blues.
Dese yankee girl give me big scare,
Is black de root, is blonde de hair.
Her eyelash false, her face is paint,
And pads are where de girl she ain't!
She jitterbug when she should waltz,
I even think her name is false.
But calypso girl is good a lot,
Is what you see, is what she got.
Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by de ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad...
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad.
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
(Repeat chant to fade)
A THOUSAND THOUGHTS OF YOU
***************
A thousand thoughts of youWill haunt me ever after
The music of your laughter
Will serenade my heart.
A thousand thoughts of you
Will roam the night and find me
With chains of love, they'll bind me
To dreams that won't depart.
Your face,
Your smile,
The moonlight in your hair
Your lips,
Your eyes,
I'll see them everywhere.
A thousand kisses, too
Will keep me reminiscing
For there'll be no dismissing
A thousand thoughts of you.
~interlude~
A thousand kisses, too
Will keep me reminiscing
For there'll be no dismissing
A thousand thoughts of you.
