Foreign Love Affair
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wonder how many poor boys like me are still in love with a foreign memory
And how many poor girls are waiting over there
With their hearts tied to a foreign love affair
Foreign love affairs distant lands apart foreign love affairs many broken hearts
[ guitar ]
I'd give up a kingdom if I were a king to be with my darling and have one golden ring
But I have no kingdom so all we have to share
Are the mem'ries of a foreign love affair
Foreign love affairs distant lands apart foreign love affairs many broken hearts
