Rome

Rome

So long, fair thee well.

I must go but I’ll be back again.

It may not be tomorrow but this I know for sure,

You’ll be in my heart forever more.

So goodbye sunflower fields,

Cobbled streets and never ending hills.

You’ve given me love and for it I cannot repay,

But I’ll cherish her each and every day.

I close my eyes and I’m stood in the chapel.

Holding back the tears at heaven’s gaze.

Wondering was it Eve who ate the apple?

Not like it would matter anyway.

All I’ll ask, you forget me not

And welcome me on back with open arms.

For too much I hold dear to you in memory and time.

Rome you’ll be always on my mind.

For too much I hold dear to you in memory and time.

Rome you’ll be always on my mind.
