Word In Spanish Lyrics

Word In Spanish

A Word In Spanish 
Elton John 
(Elton John/Bernie Taupin) 
 
I don't know why 
I just know I do 
I just can't explain 
In this language that I use 
Something leaves me speechless 
Each time that you approach 
Each time you glide right through me 
As if I was a ghost 
 
If I only could tell you 
If you only would listen 
I've got a line or two to use on you 
I've got a romance we could christen 
 
And there's a word in Spanish I don't understand 
But I heard it in a film one time spoken by the leading man 
He said it with devotion, he sounded so sincere 
And the words he spoke in Spanish brought the female lead to tears 
A word in Spanish, a word in Spanish 
 
If you can't comprehend 
Read it in my eyes 
If you don't understand it's love 
In a thin disguise 
And what it takes to move you 
Each time that you resist 
Is more than just a pretty face 
To prove that I exist 
 
When manners make no difference 
And my gifts all lay undone 
I trade my accent in on chance 
And fall back on a foreign tongue
