Heart of Rome
Elvis Presley · Love Letters From Elvis
Starting on the journey home
Soon IÂ’ll be alone, the one who loves you
La la la la la, somewhere in the heart of rome
IÂ’ll make a wish in every fountain
Say a prayer that youÂ’ll return
Minutes IÂ’ll be counting
May the fire of love still burn
IÂ’ll keep your picture by my pillow
And pretend IÂ’m not alone
Make believe that you are with me
La la la la la, in the heart of rome
Suddenly the tears are falling
As we hear the whistle blow
Hold me very close before you leave me
La la la la la, somewhere in the heart of rome
IÂ’ll make a wish in every fountain
Say a prayer that youÂ’ll return
Minutes IÂ’ll be counting
May the fire of love still burn
IÂ’ll keep your picture by my pillow
And pretend IÂ’m not alone
Make believe that you are with me
La la la la la, in the heart of rome
IÂ’ll make a wish in every fountain
Say a prayer that youÂ’ll return
Minutes IÂ’ll be counting
May the fire of love still burn
IÂ’ll keep your picture by my pillow
And pretend IÂ’m not alone
Make believe that you are with me
La la la la la, in the heart of rome
