Al Jarreau Spain Lyrics

Spain Lyrics

Yesterday
Just a photograph of yesterday
and all it's edges folded
and
the corners faded sepia brown
and yet it's all I have of our past love
a
post script to it's ending

Brighter days
I can see such brighter
days
when every song we sang is sung again
and now we know 
we know
this time it's for good
and we're lovers once again
and you're near
me

I can remember the rain in december
the leaves of brown on the
ground
in Spain I did love and adore you
the nights filled with joy were
our yesterdays
and tomorrow will bring you near me

I can recall my
desire
every reverie is on fire and I get a picture of all our
yesterdays
yes today, I can say
I get a kick every time they play that
spain again

I can remember the rain in december
the leaves of brown
on the ground
Our love was a spanish fiesta
the bright lights and sounds
were our joy each day
and the nights were the heat of yearning

I can
recall my desire every reverie
is on fire and I get a picture of all our
yesterdays
yes today, I can say
I get a kick every time I see you gaze at
me
I see moments of history
your eyes meet mine and they dance to the
melody
and we live again as if dreaming

the sound of our hearts beat
like castanets
and forever we'll know their meaning
I can recall my
desire every reverie is on fire 
and I get a picture of all our
yesterdays
yes, today, I can say
I get a kick every time I see you gaze
at me

(music solo)

You gaze at me
I see moments of
history
your eyes meet mine
and they dance to the melody
and we live
again as if dreaming

the sound of our hearts beat like castenets 
and
forever we'll know their meaning

I can recall my desire
every reverie
is on fire 
and I get a picture of all our yesterdays
yes today I can say

I get a kick every time I see you gaze at me

be do de
(scat
solo)

You gaze at me
I see moments of history
your eyes meet mine
and they dance to the melody
and we live again as if dreaming

the
sound of our hearts beat like castanets
and forever we'll know their
meaning
I can remember the rain in december
the leaves of brown tumbling
down

in spain I did love and adore you
the nights filled with joy
were our yesterdays
and tomorrow will bring you near me

I can recall
my desire every reverie is on fire
and I get a picture of all our
yesterdays
yes today I can say
I get a kick every time you sing that
spain

whoa, whoa, oh yeah
