Portofino

Long ago, I need to know, where love was found
A place in the sun.
Long before this heart of mine had broken down,
You were the one.
But now you're a lonely memory
My heartake will never end.
Though all of those nights are far away
I wish I were with you again.
Portofino, I still remember the sun in your hair,
Portofino, mariachi music that danced in the air,
Portofino, I want you back in my arms.
'Cause ev'ry time in closed my eyes,
I'm holding you in the dark.
In portofino, where you broke my heart.
I think of your face and still it can take,my breath away
After so long.
And though I'll be lonely,living for only,yesterday
I'll get along.
Though now you're a faded memory.
My heartake will never end.
This unforgotten melody, keeps playing over and over again
Portofino, I still remember the sun in your hair,
Portofino, mariachi music that danced in the air,
Portofino, I want you back in my arms.
'Cause ev'ry time in closed my eyes,
I'm holding you in the dark.
In portofino, where you broke my heart.
In portofino, where you broke my heart.
