Portugal I Love You Lyrics by John Edmond

From The Heart

1981

She was just a dancer on a warm ??? night
Thought I saw her staring at me trough the candle light
Don't know what it was that made me reach to touch her hand
She spoke a foreign language, I was in a foreign land
Chorus
So I said Portugal I love you, in a most exotic way
When you hear wind blowing, and your body starts to sway
Portugal I love you though I know that's not your name
That's the name I give you, but I love you just the same
It's not infatuation of romantic latin stars?
It's not the magic music of those classical guitars
It's the kinda game that i've been playin' with your eyes
And I find the one, I know you will be the prize
Chorus
So I said Portugal I love you, in a most exotic way
When you hear wind blowing, and your body starts to sway
Portugal I love you though I know that's not your name
That's the name I give you, but I love you just the same
Better luck with the dancer, and i just gotta say
You didn't think that a fairytale romance would be coming my way
Portugal I love you, in a most exotic way
When you hear wind blowing, and your body starts to sway
Portugal I love you though I know that's not your name
That's the name I give you, but I love you just the same
Portugal I love you, in a most exotic way
When you hear wind blowing, and your body starts to sway
Portugal I love you though I know that's not your name
That's the name I give you, but I love you just the same
