?My Roman Amor?

I found a beautiful woman in Rome
A painting of a lady I wish I?d known
Half-smiling like that one in the Louvre
She cast a spell I couldn?t remove

I asked the curator, who would that be
?Lady in Velvet, 1903?
While he explained it never was told
Her knowing gaze captured my soul

Chorus:

Si bella signora, that look from the past
Lighted a love time can?t outlast
Your world is gone, but I?m praying for
A new world with you, my Roman amor

When I rushed back to see her again
Dust framed the space where she had been
In twilight outside, I dimly could see
A woman in velvet looking at me

I followed the lady to a cafe
She sipped her wine, half-smiling my way
I saw a promise of endless delight
Then she was gone, into the night

Chorus: repeat

Tag:

Somewhere in time, our stars may align
Somehow I?ll find . . . my Roman amor
My Roman amor . . .
