| A Word In Spanish |
|
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album reg strikes back
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
