Lyrics for Casanova's Last Words
This is the story of Casanova As told to me by Casanova He was an old man, old and grey He came home to die on Valentine's Day Oh it's great to be back home again Sure feels good to be in those arms again Two things I know, I remember well Don't walk the wire, don't kiss and tell He threw stones at every window sill From Genoa to old Seville Beautiful women of every skin Some of them strangers, none of them friends Oh it's great to be back home again Sure feels good to be in those arms again Two things I know, I remember well Don't walk the wire, don't kiss and tell Well I looked into his eyes Oh Casanova tell me why Through every bordello you have roamed If this be your death why come home? In this bed, way back then I had my first love at the age of ten She wasn't pretty, she wasn't fair I'll wait for her love, I'll wait there Oh it's great to be back home again Sure feels good to be in those arms again Two things I know, I remember well Don't walk the wire, don't kiss and tell Oh it's great to be back home again Sure feels good to be in those arms again Two things I know, I remember well Don't walk the wire, don't kiss and tell Don't walk the wire, don't kiss and tell Don't walk the wire
