Spanish Steps Testo

There's a place that I once heard about
In a story that was read to me out loud
A land of make believe or so it seemed
And it took me to a place of hopes and dreams
My mother said to me when I turned 18
"There’s a ship and it’s sailing across the sea
Just promise me boy you'll write me every day
Now leave before my mind changes"

Turn my back to my homeland Throw a coin over my shoulder
I hear the water break
May good luck come my way

How long does take to get to Rome?
When you’re standing on the other side of the globe
Even if it takes a lifetime I swear that I'd still go
When I climb those Spanish Steps I'll let you know

I'm singing tunes in the Chorus cafe
24 years to the day I have been awake
My feet are standing still on foreign ground
There’s no map to show you this side of town

Turned my back to my homeland
Never looked over my shoulder
I heard my mother say
"You've lost something along the way"

How long does take to get to Rome? When you’re standing on the other side of the globe
Even if it takes a lifetime I swear that I'd still go
When I climb those Spanish Steps I'll let you know

How long does take to get to Rome?
When you’re standing on the other side of the globe
Even if it takes a lifetime I swear that I'd still go
When I climb those Spanish Steps I'll let you know

How long does take to get to Rome?
When I climb those Spanish Steps I'll let you know
