                           D                                      A

1. Once upon a lonely night, Barcelona Spain,

                                                                        D

    she was just a simple girl, Maria was her name,

                                                                                                 A

    through the night we fell in love, but morning brings good byes,

                               G              A                      D

    now I spend the rest of my life wondering why.

 

  G                                  A                                 D

The Spanish night - - is over, and here I am again,

                          A                                      D

holding just a heart full of memories that never end.

  G                                  A                                        D

The Spanish night - - is over, but still I'm dreaming on,

                           A              A7                   D

how we were together the night we fell in love.  

 

                            E                                                     B7

2. Every night I close my eyes, and hold her in my sleep,

                                                                             E

    though it was so long ago, the memory I will keep.

                                                                                 B7

    Some of us were meant to win, others meant to lose,

                             A                   B7             E

    but I’d never dreamed I’d be still losing you.

 

  A                                  B7                               E

The Spanish night - - is over, and here I am again,

                         B7                                     E

holding just a heart full of memories that never end.

  A                                  B7                                       E

The Spanish night - - is over, but still I'm dreaming on,

                          B7                                     E

how we were together the night we fell in love.
