[Verse 1] There's a place that I once heard about In a story that was read to me out loud A land of make believe or so it seemed And it took me to a place of hopes and dreams My mother said to me when I turned 18 "There’s a ship and it’s sailing across the sea Just promise me boy you'll write me every day Now leave before my mind changes"
[Pre-Chorus 1] Turn my back to my homeland Throw a coin over my shoulder I hear the water break May good luck come my way
[Chorus] How long does take to get to Rome? When you’re standing on the other side of the globe Even if it takes a lifetime I swear that I'd still go When I climb those Spanish Steps I'll let you know
[Verse 2] I'm singing tunes in the Chorus cafe 24 years to the day I have been awake My feet are standing still on foreign ground There’s no map to show you this side of town
[Pre-Chorus 2] Turned my back to my homeland Never looked over my shoulder I heard my mother say "You've lost something along the way"
[Chorus] How long does take to get to Rome? When you’re standing on the other side of the globe Even if it takes a lifetime I swear that I'd still go When I climb those Spanish Steps I'll let you know
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus] How long does take to get to Rome? When you’re standing on the other side of the globe Even if it takes a lifetime I swear that I'd still go When I climb those Spanish Steps I'll let you know
[Outro] How long does take to get to Rome? When I climb those Spanish Steps I'll let you knowTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
