If You Had Followed Me

If you had followed me

I would have guided you 

In all the streets' 

Strange shops and unquiet cafés. 

You would have flamed

In the hottest Spanish bars 

Rested 

in the quietest manor farms.

You would have found 

The sweetest food

The most flavoured fruits 

The greenest, the reddest, the ''winest''. 

If you had followed me 

I would have offered you 

The whitest sand 

The purest sea 

The softest sun. 

You would have worn

The finest dress

The best perfume 

And essence, and fragrance.

You would have tasted

Better than the most most 

Beautiful flowers, 

We would have made love 

For hours and hours. 

If you had followed me 

I would have told you 

The secrets of Gypsy 

The colours of Provence. 

If you had followed me 

I would have eclipsed 

Your sorrow, your pain 

Made of you a woman.

If you had followed me

I would have showed you 

The exquisite life of romance

I would have given you

My heart, my soul, 

My existence.
