Remember the days we used to share
Remember the time when I was there
I believed every single word you said
Just like a child I lost my head
I didn’t care if it was day or night
I just wanted to have you by my side
The moon went up, the sun went down
But you were still around
Alta gracia, my love
Alta gracia, my love
Alta gracia, my love
Alta gracia, my love
Remember how we spent the night
How we kissed and held each other tight
Everything was like a beautiful dream
You were the sweetest woman I’ve ever seen
How could I know our love wouldn’t stand a chance?
I had to go and end this wonderful romance
Now I’m so sad and blue, here without you, what can I do?
I used to love her from the bottom of my heart
Didn’t realize that time was slippin’ by
Now we’re living oh so far apart
I give grace for the days that I held her by my side
By my side
The name of the singer
Oscar Harris
Never heard this name before
he had a slight accent in his songs
Imagine my surprise when I found out that
he is SURINAMESE who was popular in Holland in 1970s and 1980s.
The mind begins to racy and scans the emotional landscape, where was that? when was that? who was that? and the song Willie Nelson sang when we were junior doctors in Melbourne? I wonder who is kissing her now ..
It is not nostalgia but a wonderful feeling rising up in your heart.
saudade? No i have not lost anything. In fact I have so much to look forward to in the coming months when my wanderers heart meu coracao vagabundo would be on the road again ..
and?
