Long black curls and a fire in the eyes

Spinning, dancing a brief flash of thigh

I can see her like it was yesterday

It was then that she stole my heart away.



We met one night under a strawberry moon

A soft summer night in the midst of June

She played violin and could dance and could sing

She spoke my name and was my everything.



Chorus:

Have you seen her, my wild gypsy girl?

There's not another like her in this world

I've searched the land and all the wild silver seas

Now I've come back to where she last kissed me

Looking for my gypsy girl.



Our love was a passion unbridled and wild

My heart would soar whenever she smiled

I could feel her soul in a lover's embrace

I could see heaven shining in my lovers face.



She sang me a song that enchanted my heart

Two lovers entwined that never would part

But I left her behind with one tearful kiss

And come back to memories like this



Chorus



How fast the time flies, how the years they have passed

And my heart led me back to where I saw her last

I know that it's foolish to think I'd find her again

But if there's that chance, I just can't let this end



Here's to the love I've truly missed in my life

Compared her to every girl, sweetheart, and wife

And somehow I knew that someday I'd try

To make it up to her that I once made her cry



Chorus



Long black curls and a fire in the eyes

Spinning, dancing a brief flash of thigh

I can see her like it was yesterday

It was then that she stole my heart away.
