Last night, as I lay sleeping In this cold and lonely place I'm passing through I dreamed of Santa Lija And the happy days of childhood that I knew The friends I left behind me In that little town so far across the sea They all came to remind me Of yesterday and you and me Let me go on dreaming How can I face another day Away from Santa Lija Where what I thought was true love Has found itself a new love So I won't be returning Though these dreams of you forever will remain Goodbye to Santa Lija It would break my heart to see her face again Let me go on dreaming How can I face another day Away from Santa Lija Where what I thought was true love Has found itself a new love So I won't be returning Though these dreams of you forever will remain Goodbye to Santa Lija It would break my heart to see her face again
