I love your gypsy eyes
I love your gypsy eyes
Alright!
Hey!
Gypsy.
Way up in my tree IÂ’m sitting by my fire
WondÂ’rinÂ’ where in this world might you be
And knowinÂ’ all the time youÂ’re still roaminÂ’ in the country side
Do you still think about me?
Oh my gypsy.
Well I walked right on to your rebel roadside
The one that rambles on for a million miles
Yes I walk down this road searchinÂ’ for your love and ah my soul too
But when I find ya I ainÂ’t gonna let go.
I remember the first time I saw you
The tears in your eyes look like theyÂ’re tryinÂ’ to say
Oh little boy you know I could love you
But first I must make my get away
Two strange men fightinÂ’ to the death over me today
IÂ’ll try to meet cha by the old highway.
Hey!
Well I realize that IÂ’ve been hypnotized, I love your gypsy eyes
I love your gypsy eyes
I love your gypsy eyes
I love your gypsy eyes
Alright!
IÂ’ve been searchinÂ’ so long my feet have made me lose the battle
Down against the road my weary knees they got me
Off to the side I fall but I hear a sweet call
My gypsy eyes is cominÂ’ and IÂ’ve been saved.
Oh IÂ’ve been saved
ThatÂ’s why I love you uh
Said I love you
Hey!
Love you uh
Lord I love you
Hey!
