Return

While I'm away, please keep waiting for me
I'm taking the slow train towards Italy
Please don't think me wrongly, I won't be very long there
When I return in a week or two's time
I'll bring home some photos of girlfriends of mine
I only want to show you just how much I owe you
You're worth more to me than the roses and wine
 
Pa pa ba pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
 
Somehow you're just like a sister to me
Your heart made of gold, always open and free
But now I'm off to London, I have some business undone
When I return, I'll be bringing to you
A few locks of hair from a girlfriend of two
I see from your expression, we're parting with depression
But love is worth more from a loved one like you
 
Pa pa ba pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
 
The love of a mother is what you can give
I'd like you beside me as long as I live
But now I must be going, but where to – there's no knowing
And when I return, I'll be bringing to you
A lifetime of knowledge of what girls should do
It's better late than never, maybe I stay forever
Your love is worth more than a journey or two
 
Pa pa ba pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
 
You never complain while I'm staying away
Will you forgive me for being this way?
Of all the girls I've known, there's only one I adore
I'm keeping a place for you here, in my heart
I've bought you a ring, so let's make a new start
I'll stay at home forever, they say it's now or never
You're worthy to me, so I pray we won't part
 
Pa pa ba pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa ba pa pa...
Pa pa pa pa pa... pa pa pa ba pa pa...
