Phil Christie: Music

Carmelita
(Written by Phil Christie)

Sea birds still fly in the Saint Tropez sun
Palm trees still sway with the wind
It’s a beautiful sight, but it won’t mean a thing
If I can’t see her sweet smile again
I hear the waves upon the shore
Pound with the beat of my heart

Chorus:
Oh Carmelita
I still feel your touch
Falling like rain on my skin
Oh Carmelita
I need you so much
Tell me you’ll come back again, my Carmelita

I was walking the beach on that warm summer night
She was dancing alone by the sea
Twirling and swirling, she moved like a flame
And I smiled when she called out to me
We danced as samba music played
From a café somewhere by the street

Oh Carmelita
I still feel your touch
Falling like rain on my skin
Oh Carmelita
I want you so much
When will I see you again, my Carmelita

In the morning I reached for her face
Found her note of goodbye
She didn’t love him, she had no regret
She could live with a lie

(chorus)
