I sang your praises daily And we let ourselves get swept away It's true baby We held heaven in our hands for days You wait a long time For something wild to take you somewhere And all I needed was to fly It's a long way from paradise to ordinary Picture us just smiling there, we didn't have a care I remember, how it all came true It was oh so tender And I was lost with you By the sweet sorrento moon But the stars don't burn that brightly Every season surely slips away But you baby You're the reason why I chose to stay You wait a long time to find your dream and hold on to it And all I needed was to fly It's a long day from innocence to understanding A picture of a child at play, is how I feel today And I remember, how it all came true It was oh so tender, and I was lost with you By the sweet sorrento moon... (la luna de sorrento)
