Rita Connolly - Valparaiso lyrics

He was singing about Valparaiso Singing as though in a dream White sandy beaches And warm gentle breeze Palm trees that reach to The blue southern seas And he sang Valparaiso, Valparaiso When will the wind blow me down there again Valparaiso, Valparaiso Softened the heart of a hard-hearted man He was singing of days on the ocean Of trade winds and rounding the Horn Fair winds and foul winds Of hard work and ease Friends found and lost On the great southern seas And he sang Valparaiso, Valparaiso When will the wind blow me down there again Valparaiso, Valparaiso Softened the heart of a hard-hearted man We all sat in that hushed smokey tavern As winter winds raged 'round the door Ears keen and listening and eyes far away Wishing that we could all go there someday And we sang Valparaiso, Valparaiso When will the wind blow me down there again Valparaiso, Valparaiso Softened the heart of a hard-hearted man
