Lyrics Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot

Rosanna

Rosanna makes my day begin

With kisses for a king and coffee on a silver tray

She sees the shape I'm in

And if she would ever break away

I'd follow close behind her

'Cause Rosanna, yes, Rosanna

Rules my heart

Rosanna knows the times I keep

A fire softly glows and the shadows lick the walls

She knows when I'm asleep

The dinner's served at eight o'clock on time

And all is well by nine

'Cause Rosanna, yes, Rosanna

Rules my heart

Rosanna moves across the floor

Her perfume fills the air as she walks beside my easy chair

I touch her hand once more

And I may never sleep again

I like the bag she put me in

Rosanna knows the ways of a man

But not the way I feel, I don't really care what happens now

It's 'catch me if you can'

For no matter what occasion should arise

She likes to sympathize

'Cause Rosanna, yes, Rosanna

Rosanna, Rosanna

Rules my heart
