Letras Música (i Can Recall) Spain

Al Jarreau

Yesterday, just a
photograph of yesterday

And all its edges folded
and the corners

faded sepia brown

And yet it’s all I have
of our past love

A postscript to its ending

Brighter days

I can see such brighter days

When every song we sang

Is sung again

And now we know

We know this time it’s for good

And we’re lovers once again

And you’re near me

I can remember the
rain in December

The leaves are brown –

On the ground

In Spain I did love and adore you

The nights filled with
joy were our yesterdays

And tomorrow will bring you near me

I can recall my desire

Every reverie is on fire

And I get a picture of
all our yesterdays

Yes, today

I can say, “I get a kick every time

They play that, ‘Spain,” again”

I can remember the rain in December

The leaves are brown-

On the ground

Our love was a Spanish fiesta

The bright lights and songs
were our joy each day

And the nights were the
heat of yearning

I can recall my desire

Every reverie is on fire

And I get a picture of
all our yesterdays

Yes, today

I can say, “I get a kick everytime

I see you gaze at me.”

I see moments of history

Your eyes meet mine and

They dance to the melody

And we live again

As if dreaming

The sound of our
hearts beat like castanets

And forever we’ll know their meaning

CHORUS

(synthesizer solo)

You gaze at me

I see moments of history…

Your eyes meet mine

And they dance to the melody

And we live again

As if dreaming…

(vocal improvisation)
