Paroles de 26 miles

Twenty-six miles across the sea
Santa catalina is a-waitin' for me,
Santa catalina, the island of romance,
Romance, romance, romance.
Water all around it ev'rywhere,
Tropical trees and the salty air,
But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there's romance.

It seems so distant, twenty-six miles away, restin' in the water serene.
I'd work for anyone, even the navy, who would float me to my island dream.
Twenty-six miles, so near, yet far.
I'd swim with just some water wings and my guitar.
I can leave the wings but i'll need the guitar
For romance, romance, romance, romance.

Twenty-six miles across the sea
Santa catalina is a-waitin' for me,
Santa catalina, the island of romance,
Romance, romance, romance.
Water all around it ev'rywhere,
Tropical trees and the salty air,
But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there's romance.

A tropical heaven out in the ocean covered with trees and girls.
If i have to swim i'd do it forever till i'm gazin' on those island pearls.
Forty kilometers in a leaky old boat,
Any old thing that'll stay afloat.
When we arrive we'll all promote romance, romance, romance
