The tourists, they flock in their thousands
To visit the city of Rome
For many, a place for a holiday
For many, the place they call home

I meander down the alleyways
Past ancient buildings left and right
Oh, how this beautiful city
Comes so alive with the ensuing night

On the Spanish Steps I'll be waiting
For my lover to come into view
Every day that we spend together
Always feels like this love is brand new

I see you as you walk towards me
A bunch of flowers you have in your hand
So eager am I to see you
That I begin to rise up and stand

My smile I can contain no longer
The minute I see your face
Finally we are standing together
As we lose ourselves in a passionate embrace

The steady flow of water
From the Trevi Fountain down below
As you search your pocket for a coin
And into the fountain you do throw

We make a wish together
We wish for endless love
We wish for lots of happiness
From the heavens above

The aroma of espresso coffee
Beckons us to the nearest cafe
A place where so many come
To spend an important part of their day

It's time now for us to leave here
A reservation for two you have made
As we walk to our next destination
The light of the day begins to fade

The aromas of oil and garlic
Welcome us as we walk through the door
The owner comes over to greet us
It's like he's seen us here before

A quaint table awaits in the corner
The place where we'll spend the night
We'll hold hands across the table
And glance at each other through the candelight

Then we'll stroll under the lamplight
Two hearts beating in time
Never will there be much distance
Between your heart and mine

Well, I just left Moscow, now I'm in Rome, who says the Internet is boring!

I love it.
