Barcelona Nights

Barcelona Nights - David Benoit/Jane Monheit (珍夢海)

We'd been in love awhile

But barcelona made us one

On the festival of mercy

When the fountain was aflame

Up on the highest hill

I'd never felt a deeper thrill

Than the way you pulled me closer

And the way you said my name

I dream sweet dreams

Of the music in the plazas

And the color of the lights

When you and I

Shared love's exhilaration

On those barcelona nights

We wandered endlessly

Drank in the beauty of the place

Saw the sketches of picasso

And the ruins underground

We talked in wonderment

Of all the years alone we'd spent

Grew silent in amazement

At the miracle we'd found

I weep inside

For the time when every evening

Brought a host of new delights

Oh please my love

Don't say we've lost the magic

Of those barcelona nights

How well you loved me then

You could not bear to turn away

But always kept returning

To ask for one more kiss

You seem so different now

Your manner pleasantly blasé

My broken heart refuses

To believe we've come to this

I dream sweet dreams

Of the music in the plazas

And the color of the lights

When you and I

Shared love's exhilaration

On those barcelona nights

I dream sweet dreams

Of the music in the plazas

And the color of the lights

When you and I

Shared love's exhilaration

On those barcelona nights
