You're So Sympatico
Jacques Raymond Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're so simpatico
you understand
Your fingers tell me so much
If I only touch your hand
You're so simpatico
Each time we kiss
Your lips give promise
That we are always to be like this

You may not say a word
But your eyes shine
They say your heart is aflame
Exactly the same as mine
I know our hearts were intended
To be blended one forever

And I'll never let you go
You're so simpatico.
