Elton John - A Word In Spanish lyrics

Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Available on the album reg strikes back I don't know why I just know i do I just can't explain In this language that i use Something leaves me speechless Each time that you approach Each time you glide right through me As if i was a ghost If i only could tell you If you only would listen I've got a line or two to use on you I've got a romance we could christen And there's a word in spanish i don't understand But i heard it in a film one time spoken by the leading man He said it with devotion, he sounded so sincere And the words he spoke in spanish brought the female lead to tears A word in spanish, a word in spanish If you can't comprehend Read it in my eyes If you don't understand it's love In a thin disguise And what it takes to move you Each time that you resist Is more than just a pretty face To prove that i exist When manners make no difference And my gifts all lay undone I trade my accent in on chance And fall back on a foreign tongue
