You spoke in Spanish on the beach
I tried to make up my mind
Whether I could understand a word you said
You took my hand and we walked out
I forgot to lock the door
You stood waiting in a long dark dress
I wished it could be permanent
I feel glamorous, do you?
With my shoes taking shots
Oh, that sound of authority
You speak in Spanish
And I turn to watch the musicians play
Standing straight with their smiling eyes
I wished it could be permanent
I wondered what you would've done
If I had bought the ring
And decided to go down on one knee
And in an operatic voice, I would start singing with the band
It would be so mortifying, it makes me laugh
I wished it could be permanent
I wished it could be permanent
On the last day, we were there
You said you wished we could stay
Boarded the plane and everything changed
I wished it could be permanent
I wished it could be permanent
