I Never Thought I’d Say This – Edie Carey – letras

After 20 years and 3,000 milesI’ve finally found my homeAnd now I live in legends ofDays gone byAmongst the crumblingGlories of RomeAnd now I find myselfSpeaking in foreign tonguesOf future, love, and wedded blissEven though I sworeI’d never be among the onesWho spoke of things like thisBut now you’re standingRight in front of meIn all of your purity and graceAnd though they all told me it would be this wayI have not the strength to face thatSomehow after all who came beforeI still believe in true loveAnd if you kiss my foreheadOne more timeI think I’ll have to marry youSo we’ve got a yearIn which to tell this taleOf a love that could not beAnd harsh reality is moreOn my trailWith every passing weekAnd oh my loveHave you heard of little Italy’It’s in the city where I thriveWe could find humble refuge thereAnd keep this love aliveBut somewhere in betweenLies IrelandSown with my rootsAnd your dreamsAnd we’d let the great green swallow us so willinglySo willingly becauseSomehow after all who came beforeI still believe in true loveAnd if you kiss my foreheadOne more timeI think I’ll have to marry youDo you remember that perfect day’It was that once-in-a-lifetime kindWe didn’t even careWhen the old man walked byAnd heaven was that hillsideYou know it’s strangeBut I can see usWhen we’re old and grayBut happy with our livesWe’ll interrupt our talk of SaschaWith shared contented sighsBut who are you to make meThink these thoughts’You know this isn’t like meIt goes against allThat I’ve been taughtBut I’ll try hardAnd I’ll try hardAnd I’ll try hardTo let it beSomehow after all who came beforeI still believe in true loveAnd if you kiss my foreheadOne more timeI think I’ll have to marry you
