girl from adelaide town

 

 

 

 




VERSE ONE:

She came from Down Under,
From Adelaide Town,
A gypsy, a princess,
Who traveled the world round and round, 
Upside down,
She came out of nowhere,
And vanished so quickly,
I don’t think he’ll see her again,
And he doesn’t know why, 
H
e says with a sigh.

CHORUS:

But maybe one day in a blink of an eye,
He’ll walk through the door and let out a sigh,
For the girl from Adelaide Town.
And maybe one day in a wink of her eye,
She’ll step through the door and he’ll give out a cry,

For the girl from Adelaide Town.

VERSE TWO: 

She had emerald eyes that danced in the sun when she smiled,
Her voice was as sweet as an angel who fell from the sky,
He probably won’t see her again,
And he doesn’t know why,
But he won’t forget the girl with those emerald eyes. 

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:

Tell me why, please tell me why,
She vanished so quickly and now that’s she’s gone, 
All I have left in my dreams are those emerald eyes, those emerald eyes.
She’s the girl from Adelaide Town.
