lyrics

Long black curls and a fire in the eyes,
Spinning, dancing a brief flash of thigh.
I can see her like it was yesterday,
It was then that she stole my heart away.
We met one night under a strawberry moon,
A soft summer night in the midst of June.
She played violin and could dance and could sing,
She spoke my name and was my everything.
Have you seen her, my wild gypsy girl?
There’s not another like her in this world.
I've searched the land and all the wild silver seas,
Now I've come back to where she last kissed me.
Looking for my gypsy girl.
Our love was a passion unbridled and wild,
My heart would soar whenever she smiled.
I could feel her soul in a lover’s embrace,
I could see heaven shining in my lovers face.
She sang me a song that enchanted my heart,
Two lovers entwined that never would part.
But I left her behind with one tearful kiss,
And come back to memories like this.
[CHORUS]
How fast the time flies, how the years they have passed,
And my heart led me back to where I saw her last.
I know that it is foolish to think I’d find her again,
But, if there is that chance, I just can’t let this end.
Here’s to the love I've truly missed in my life,
Compared her to every girl, sweetheart, and wife.
And somehow I knew that someday I'd try,
To make it up to her that I once made her cry.
[CHORUS]
Long black curls and a fire in the eyes,
Spinning, dancing a brief flash of thigh.
I can see her like it was yesterday,
It was then that she stole my heart away.
