Barcelona
Bill Newman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To walk with you (to walk with you)
Along the avenue (along the avenue)
I wish I were in Barcelona now
Life is not the same (life is not the same)
Since I'm home again (since I'm home again)
You know i went to Paris and away to London too
Gonna keep returning to the time I spent with you
I drink in a small café where we had some tapas
That's where I should have stayed
I wish I were in Barcelona now
To walk with you (to walk with you)
Along the avenue (along the avenue)
I wish I were in Barcelona now
Life is not the same (life is not the same)
Since I'm home again (since I'm home again)
You spoke to the waitor in Spanish
I couldn't understand
I saw how he adored you
But you gave me your hand
You showed me (sommado daley???)
And the parsils paintings too
At the Gardie museum I fell in love with you
I wish I were in Barcelona now
To walk with you (to walk with you)
Aong the avenue (along the avenue)
I wish I were in Barcelona now
Life is not the same (life is not the same)
Since I'm home again (since I'm home again)
I wish I were in Barcelona now
Just to let you know (just to let you know)
That I love you so (that I love you so)
I wish I were in Barcelona now
I'd never let you go
Your tagiaro
