Al Jarreau Spain (I Can Recall) Lyrics

Yesterday
Just a photograph of yesterday
And all it's edges folded
And the corners faded sepia brown
And yet it's all I have of our past love
A post script to its ending

Brighter days
I can see such brighter days
When every song we sang is sung again
And now we know - we know this time it's for good
And we're lovers once again
And you're near me

1st Verse:
I can remember the rain in December
The leaves of brown on the ground
In Spain I did love and adore you
The nights filled with joy were our yesterdays
And tomorrow will bring you near me

I can recall my desire
Every reverie is on fire
And I get a picture of all our yesterdays
Yes today, I can say
I get a kick every time they play that Spain again

2nd Verse:
I can remember the rain in December
The leaves of brown on the ground
Our love was a Spanish fiesta
The bright lights and sounds were our joy each day
And the nights were the heat of yearning

Chorus:
I can recall my desire
Every reverie is on fire
And I get a picture of all our yesterdays
Yes today, I can say
I get a kick every time I see

Refrain:
You gaze at me
I see moments of history
Your eyes meet mine and they dance to the melody
And we live again as if dreaming

Bridge:
The sound of our hearts beat like castanets
And forever we'll know their meaning

(Chorus)
You gaze at me

[Synth solo]

(Repeat Refrain & Chorus)

[Scat solo]

(Repeat Refrain, Bridge & 1st Verse)

I can recall my desire every reverie is on fire
And I get a picture of all our yesterdays
Yes today I can say
I get a kick and I'm here to say here's Spain again
