The stars won't come out,
If they know that you're about,
'Cause they couldn't match,
The glow of your eyes.
And, oh, who am I?
Just an ordinary guy,
Tryin' hard
To win the first prize.

Woh-oh, Candida,
We could make it together.
The further from here, girl, the better,
Where the air is fresh and clean.

Hooh-hoooh, Candida,
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya,
I promise life will be sweeter,
And it says so in my dreams.

The future is bright,
The gypsy told me so last night.
Said she saw our children
Playing in the sunshine.
And there was you and I
In a house, baby, no lie.
And all these things were yours,
And they were mine.

Woh, my Candida,
We could make it together.
The further from here, girl, the better,
Where the air is fresh and clean.

Hooh-hoooh, Candida,
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya,
I promise life will be sweeter,
And it says so in my dreams.

[Instrumental break.]

And, oh, who am I?
Just an ordinary guy,
You know I'm tryin' hard,
To win the first prize.

Oh, my Candida,
We could make it together.
The further from here, girl, the better,
Where the air is fresh and clean.

Woh, my Candida,
[Fade.]
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya,
I promise that life will be sweeter,
And it says so in my dreams.
