[00:00.000] Venezuela
[00:04.508] Keren Ann / Dayna Kurtz
[00:09.870] That was such a lovely dream
[00:14.625] The streets were golden in the sun
[00:20.910] I’ve never been to Venezuela
[00:23.525] but my family was all there
[00:26.466] and my mother looked so young
[00:31.971] Venezuela looked like Brooklyn
[00:37.703] Though the streets were twice as wide
[00:43.625] Children spun around the trees
[00:46.076] Little tops, little Sufis
[00:49.484] Mamas smile from inside
[00:55.711] Oh Fernando I’m so sorry
[01:00.825] for the love you saved for me
[01:06.939] but my heart is locked forever
[01:12.495] in another lovely dream
[01:18.610] He approached me like a prince
[01:23.690] and said he’s loved me all his life
[01:29.500] He said he knew that I’d come here
[01:32.388] that he’s been waiting all these years
[01:35.440] and I’m meant to be his wife
[01:41.401] And my sister was so jealous
[01:47.060] of the love he had for me
[01:52.687] She left, stomping ’cross the square
[01:55.683] Rigid arms, flying hair
[01:58.601] Her skirt had many layers
[02:01.193] and it bounced like Sandra Dee’s
[02:06.999] Oh Fernando I’m so sorry
[02:12.878] Whatever could I say
[02:18.602] to a man I’ve never met
[02:24.071] who’s the one who got away
[02:30.094] I cried to see his heart so plainly
[02:35.613] for he was such a formal man
[02:41.252] Handed to me like a daisy
[02:44.513] in the presence of my family
[02:47.579] from his damp and shaking hands
[02:53.359] I said - Fernando, I can’t stay here
[02:58.949] and a clock began to chime
[03:04.583] and I opened up my shirt
[03:07.414] and in its bony cage
[03:10.419] ticked a paper valentine
[03:16.307] Oh Fernando I’m so sorry
[03:21.823] for the love you saved for me
[03:27.758] But my heart is locked forever
[03:32.972] in another lovely dream

Venezuela

That was such a lovely dream
The streets were golden in the sun
I’ve never been to Venezuela
but my family was all there
and my mother looked so young
Venezuela looked like Brooklyn
Though the streets were twice as wide
Children spun around the trees
Little tops, little Sufis
Mamas smile from inside
Oh Fernando I’m so sorry
for the love you saved for me
but my heart is locked forever
in another lovely dream
He approached me like a prince
and said he’s loved me all his life
He said he knew that I’d come here
that he’s been waiting all these years
and I’m meant to be his wife
And my sister was so jealous
of the love he had for me
She left, stomping ’cross the square
Rigid arms, flying hair
Her skirt had many layers
and it bounced like Sandra Dee’s
Oh Fernando I’m so sorry
Whatever could I say
to a man I’ve never met
who’s the one who got away
I cried to see his heart so plainly
for he was such a formal man
Handed to me like a daisy
in the presence of my family
from his damp and shaking hands
I said - Fernando, I can’t stay here
and a clock began to chime
and I opened up my shirt
and in its bony cage
ticked a paper valentine
Oh Fernando I’m so sorry
for the love you saved for me
But my heart is locked forever
in another lovely dream
