How could there be anything better
Than a lover that's pretty and true
I'm gonna put it down in a letter
And send it on back to you

Promise I'll be home on a friday
Don't exactly know just when
But there'll be big blue skies
As I look in your eyes
And hold you in my arms again

My darling Chiquita
You're the only one for me
Ain't no woman sweeter
I'll love you for eternity

Been workin like a slave in a galley
Cutting sugarcane until I drop
Sweatin in the heat of the valley
Wonder if it's ever gonna stop

Got a picture of you on my bedside
I watch it til I fall asleep
Then I dream of the days
And count up the ways
Forever you'll be mine to keep

My darling Chiquita
You're the only one for me
Ain't no woman sweeter
I'll love you for eternity

We'll go dancing til dawn
At our favourite bar
The sun will rise from the sea
I'll play some gypsy guitar
And kiss you close and gentle
Tell you want you want to hear
I'll be your man do the best I can
You'll never have to shed a tear

My darling Chiquita
You're the only one for me
Ain't no woman sweeter
I'll love you for eternity

How could there be anything better
Than a lover that's pretty and true
I'm gonna put it down in a letter
And send it on back to you

Promise I'll be home on a friday
Don't exactly know just when
But there'll be big blue skies
As I look in your eyes
And hold you in my arms again

My darling Chiquita
You're the only one for me
Ain't no woman sweeter
I'll love you for eternity

My darling Chiquita
You're the only one for me
Ain't no woman sweeter
I'll love you for eternity

My darling Chiquita
My darling
