A Pauper In Paradise

Gino Vanelli A Pauper In Paradise Lyrics
1.Mardi Gras

I broke the doldrums of my dreary dreams
The london bridge kept fallin' down
I blew my coop and flew to new orleans
To feast my heart on higher ground
I wanna thank you for the love you bring
Louisiana is a song i sing
Me oh my i don't know what to do
But love you
Voila! the marshal frand of mardi gras
A royal rascal smack dab in his prime
One billon blue doubloons and a single straw
In a royal flask of cajun wine

I wanna thank you for the love we made
Louisiana is a sweet parade
Me oh my i don't know what to do
But love you
I wanna thank you for the love you shine
Louisiana is a love of mine
Me oh my i don't know what to do
But love you
Oh mardi gras!


2.Valleys Of Valhalla

Take me to heaven
On this cold norwegian night
My skin is unleaven
Untouched and so unsanctified
Feel the flame that burns my pegan soul

This sacred ingression
Is a sooth-said rhapsody
This carnel connection
Ignites my flesh with fantasy

A holocaust of love is rising now
Feel the fire
You inspire
Mesmerizer
Take me to the valleys of valhalla

A holocaust of love is rising now
Feel the fire
You inspire
Mesmerizer
Take me to the valleys of valhalla


3.The Surest Things Can Change

I love you now
And i never want to change my mind
But love is strange
And the surest things can change
We carry love
More than we can stand to lose
But who can say
The things we feel this day
Are the things we feel in time

Oh how can i be sure
The sun will rise in days to come
And now that i am yours
The world is still for you and i

We carry dreams
Like children in the spring of life
But love is pain
And the purest things can change
Who can say
The things we feel this day
Are the things we feel in time

Oh how can i be sure
The sun will rise in days to come
And now that i am yours
The world is still in cloudless sky
But sad as rain
The surest things can change


4.One Night With You

One night with you
One dream come true
One love no man can deny
The good in your eye

One life undone
One song unsung
My world of fire and ice
Become paradise
Elysium come true in loving you

One angel of man
Giving me wings to a promised land
Leaving the world behind

One night with you
One sky come blue
One night no rhymes can reveal
The heaven i feel
Elysium come true in loving you


5.A Song And Dance

Well bring on the band
And the melody man
Let the mockingbirds sing along
It's a wonderful life
And the night is young

Well ladies and gents
The gala presents
A symphony in disguise
It's a wonderful thing
The clouds in your eyes

I'll do my song and dance for your this night
I'll sing you things you came to hear
I'll do my song and dance for you this night
I'd walk a mile to see you cheer

Well life is a song
That goes on and on
From pittsburgh to peru
It's a wonderful world
Here with you

I'll do my song and dance for your this night
I'll sing you things you came to hear
I'll do my song and dance for you this night
I'd walk a mile to see you cheer

This is my song and dance for you this night
I've walked a mile to see you cheer


6.Black And Blue

Feelin' light and low
Like nothin i've felt before
My woman is black, but now she's blue
And i'm wonderin just what to do
(the day is new)

A motor-city love affair
In the heat of the night
A woman dark and debonair
Too hard to resist
The moment you've kissed

Feelin' good, feelin' down
Repercussions of a heavy heart
(torn apart)

The summer night is hot
But soon turns cold
Like a winter's song
(when something's wrong)

Oh lady black! please don't be blue
Wash the midnight with the morning dew
(the day is new)

11.A Pauper In Paradise

Larger than life
Are these shrunken wings
A lasting strain
This sparrow sings

A paradise pure
Is this pauper's rhyme
A child of heart
Lost in time
