Meditteranean Lady

Do you remember how we met?
Spring time on the island of Corfu
I was lost and asked for help
You were teaching at the local school

We talked a while and then made plans
While all the children laughed at me and you
They could see the way we felt
Much before either of us knew

Walked together hand in hand
A stranger from a foreign land but soon
Mornings turned to afternoons
And dinners turned to making love
To you, to you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Mediterranean lady oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Summer days out on the beach
Cocktails on the patio at noon
You waved to me from out at sea
And I considered staying there with you

I watched the sunlight dancing through your hair
And like a ghost of history
I don't know why my heart just died
I realized that it could never be

Circumstance and broken dreams
Like satellites with laser beams from above
Tracked me down and found us out
And filled my head and made me doubt
This love of ours

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Mediterranean lady oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You know you're beautiful when you smile

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Mediterranean lady
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Seems like life has played another joke
This dream of love has left me broke again
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
What is it for?

Been dumped, been hurt
I've been around
Maybe I've forgotten how to love
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Or maybe I've given up

Oh, oh, oh Mediterranean lady
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Oh, oh
Mediterranean lady
Oh, oh
You know you're beautiful when you smile

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Mediterranean lady
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Now the ocean is in your eyes

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Mediterranean lady
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I never meant to make you cry

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Mediterranean lady
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I've never been good with goodbyes
