Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

A bell rings in the hush of the evening
A rose petal falls on the grey castle walls
Somewhere in Spain
My heart sings, oh my darling, I need you
A falcon in love can be tamed by a dove
Only in Spain
My heart was cold, cold as the snow
But when you came, a flame started to grow
So, be mine, love
And like warm winter wine, love
When magic takes wings
And the glory of kings has flown
Your love will be my very own


Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
