Elena lyrics

Well, the sirens were singing

that night in the city

when I first laid eyes on you.

You appeared like a vision

apart from the rhythm

that lives on the avenue.

Oh, my heart was a fire,

alive with desire.

I felt it burn under my skin.

And right then I wondered

if this was the thunder

of romance about to begin.

Lightning struck,

but I felt no pain.

I stood there laughing

in the pouring rain

and even the wind 

seems to whisper your name.

Elena, my love,

you bring out the stars up above.

Come closer, Elena,

and take all my love.

Yeah, in the cool of an evening,

I found out the meaning of love

in your arms.

You held me so tight

as we lay in the midnight.

I fell in the spell of your charms.

But the night birds were callin',

as if they were warnin'

Elena was only a dream.

As night hits the city,

the sirens start singin'

and that's when she comes back to me.

Lightning strikes and I feel no pain.

I stand here laughin' in the pourin' rain

and even the wind 

seems to whisper your name.

Elena, my love,

you bring out the stars up above.

Come closer, Elena,

and take all my love.  

I wasn't lookin' for a lover,

but you were apart from the others.

Won't you lay down

and stay by my side?

Ah, yeah.

Elena, my love,

you bring out the stars up above.

Come closer, Elena,

and take all my love.  

Elena, my love,

you bring out the stars up above.

Come closer, Elena,

and take all my love.  

Elena, my love,

you bring out the stars up above.

Come closer, Elena,

and take all my love.  

Elena, my love,

you bring out the stars up above.
