Heart of Rome

In a little while you're leavin'

Starting on the journey home

Soon I'll be alone, the one who loves you

La la la la la, somewhere in the heart of Rome

I'll make a wish in every fountain

Say a prayer that you'll return

Minutes I'll be counting

May the fire of love still burn

I'll keep your picture by my pillow

And pretend I'm not alone

Make believe that you are with me

La la la la la, in the heart of Rome

Suddenly the tears are falling

As we hear the whistle blow

Hold me very close before you leave me

La la la la la, somewhere in the heart of Rome

I'll make a wish in every fountain

Say a prayer that you'll return

Minutes I'll be counting

May the fire of love still burn

I'll keep your picture by my pillow

And pretend I'm not alone

Make believe that you are with me

La la la la la, in the heart of Rome

I'll make a wish in every fountain

Say a prayer that you'll return

Minutes I'll be counting

May the fire of love still burn

I'll keep your picture by my pillow

And pretend I'm not alone

Make believe that you are with me

La la la la la, in the heart of Rome
