Cyndi Lauper Lyrics for Song: Valentino
 Lyrics for Album: Shine [2004]
 
 
 
 6473>When I was young,
 
 Way back in Sicily
 
 You should have seen me
 
 My hair then was long
 
 There was this one young man
 
 Who always came around
 
 And gave me this ribbon of velvet brown
 
 
 
 Waiting for Valentino
 
 His dark eyes lock on mine
 
 Waiting for Valentino
 
 
 
 Then, you did what you were told
 
 Married a cousin I didn't know
 
 He'd fallen in love with my photograph
 
 Oh why, worked harder then I could bare
 
 And he never seemed to care
 
 I bore his only son at the end of that year
 
 
 
 There is a place I can slip away to
 
 Out in the desert of sand and dune
 
 My she's tan; she looks like a mirage
 
 Someday I'll escape there like Scherazade
 
 
 
 Waiting for Valentino
 
 His dark eyes lock on mine
 
 Waiting for Valentino
 
 To carry me off through time
 
 
 
 I had lived long as I can
 
 Made three generations American
 
 Now my daughter takes my hand
 
 And whispers to me
 
 
 
 There is a place I can slip away to
 
 Out in the desert of sand and dune
 
 My she's tan; she looks like a mirage
 
 Someday I'll escape there like Scherazade
 
 
 
 Waiting for Valentino
 
 His dark eyes lock on mine
 
 Waiting for Valentino
 
 To carry me off through time
 
 To carry me off through time
 
 To carry me off through time
 
 To carry me off through time
 
 6473>
