Cyndi Lauper - Waiting For Valentino Lyrics
When I was young,way back in Sicilyyou should have seen meMy hair then was longThere was this one young manwho always came aroundand gave me this ribbon of velvet brownWaiting for ValentinoHis dark eyes lock on mineWaiting for ValentinoThen you did what you were toldMarried a cousin I didn't knowHe'd fallen in love with my photographOh why, worked harder then I could bareand he never seemed to careI bore his only son at the end of that yearThere is a place I can slip away toout in the desert of sand and duneMy she's tan; she looks like a mirageSomeday I'll escape there like ScherazadeWaiting for ValentinoHis dark eyes lock on mineWaiting for ValentinoTo carry me off through timeI had lived long as I canMade three generations AmericanNow my daughter takes my handand whispers to meThere is a place I can slip away toout in the desert of sand and duneMy she's tan; she looks like a mirageSomeday I'll escape there like ScherazadeWaiting for ValentinoHis dark eyes lock on mineWaiting for ValentinoTo carry me off through timeTo carry me off through timeTo carry me off through timeTo carry me off through time
