Spanish Steps Songtext
von Toto

The first time I saw her
She was wearing scarves of white
That little spark between us
Took only seconds to ignite
And then it occurred to me
But suddenly I was standing there alone

On the Spanish steps of Rome

I kept searching through the alleys
Searching, through the Catacombs that night
I closed my eyes and threw a coin, into the fountain
She was nowhere in sight
I wandered through the Holy City
Like some beggar beneath the moonlit dome

Near the Spanish steps of Rome


I heard a voice, as I looked through my fingers
And saw the old Monseigneur
He gave me his blessing, but then he said to me
"Don′t try and please her"
And then I heard her singing
Like some diva, perched upon her throne

On the Spanish steps of Rome

Now I know I should have listened
When he warned me, he warned me not to follow
I noticed that the statue's eyes
Were all sunken and hollow
Well, she let those young wolves do their dirty deeds
While she lay inside her home

On the Spanish steps of Rome (hey, hey, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Hai-ay, ay, ay, ay)
On the Spanish steps of Rome
