Mi Madrileña
-
What a perfect night that was
Madrid has never been so exquisite, not in the past
The sky was clear, pure, and dark blue
Three-quarters of the moon sparkled in radiant hymns of hue
The tireless city played its tune six floors below
A sweet medley of hushed sounds made it glow
-
Through the balcony doors I witnessed it all
I could feel my heart bloom in response to the call
The curtains slowly danced and swiftly flew
As the cool Spring air played its harmonic flute
Minutes, hours, and days could have passed
Only to find themselves cycling back to the past
-
My Madrileña I beheld in my arms that night
She was soft and sweet, not to mention warm and right
We celebrated with Spanish guitars and clapping palms
And only finished in melodic psalms
I will never forget that glorious evening in Madrid
When time and space ceased and I lived in bliss
