Santa Lija (Sogno d'Amore)

Last night, as I lay sleeping

In this cold and lonely place I'm passing through

I dreamed of Santa Lija

And the happy days of childhood that I knew

The friends I left behind me

In that little town so far across the sea

They all came to remind me

Of yesterday and you and me

Let me go on dreaming

How can I face another day

Away from Santa Lija

Where what I thought was true love

Has found itself a new love

So I won't be returning

Though these dreams of you forever will remain

Goodbye to Santa Lija

It would break my heart to see her face again

Let me go on dreaming

How can I face another day

Away from Santa Lija

Where what I thought was true love

Has found itself a new love

So I won't be returning

Though these dreams of you forever will remain

Goodbye to Santa Lija

It would break my heart to see her face again
