Spain (I Can Recall) - Al Jarreau, Metropole Orkest, Vince Mendoza

Yesterday, just a photograph of yesterday…

And all it’s edges folded and the corners faded sleepy brown.

And yet it’s all I have of our past love,

A post script to it’s ending.

Brighter days, I can see such brighter days.

When every song we sang is sung again.

And now we know, we know this time it’s for good.

And we’re lovers once again… and you’re near me.

Verse I I can remember the rain in December, the leaves of brown, on the ground…

In Spain I did love and adore you!

The nights filled with joy were our yesterdays

And tomorrow will bring you near me.

Bridge

I can recall my desire

Every reverie is on fire

And I get a picture of all my yesterdays,

Yesterday I can say.

I get a kick every time they play… that spain again!

Verse II

I can remember the rain in December, the leaves of brown, on the ground…

Our love was a spanish fiesta

The bright lights and songs were our joy each day!

And the nights were the heat of yearning.

Bridge

I can recall my desire

Every reverie is on fire

And I get a picture of all my yesterdays,

Yesterday I can say.

I get a kick every time I see… you gaze at me Verse III

I see moments of history

Your eyes meet mine and they dance to the melody

And we live again, as if dreaming

The sound of our hearts beat like castenettes

And forever we’ll know their meaning.
