VERSE: Picture just a wandering Gypsy Band Calling "home" wherever they take their stand/ So have I gone on vainly drifting waiting all the time just for this thing/ Wedding chimes are all that are missing now. REFRAIN 1: Just like a Gypsy I've wander'd my whole life thru'/ Watching and waiting for somebody just like you / Hoping that someday my luck would break/ Wand'ring squand'ring my time on some mistake/ But now that I've found you I need never wander more/ I've found the one dear that I have been looking for/ With love I may grow tipsy like a Gypsy would do/ Searching hill and dale Till I hit the trail right straight to you. REFRAIN 2: Just like a Gypsy I've wander'd my whole life thru'/ Watching and waiting for somebody just like you / Hoping that someday my luck would break/ Wand'ring squand'ring my time on some mistake/ But now that I've found you I need never wander more/ I've found the one dear that I have been looking for/ With love I may grow tipsy like a Gypsy would do/ For no more need I stray Love has found the way right straight to you. | |
