I should be in Barcelona now, gallivanting through las calles with Lady Wem, but no, the cold dark nights of my hometown instead are my companion.

That, and the sweet chords of the Bill Hilly Band and Sammy Cahn's lyrics.

I could say, "Bella, bella," even say "Wunderbar,"
Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are...
I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön
So kiss me, and say that you will understand.
