Hey my Italian girl You're so sad and far away from me these days I've been halfway 'round the world In seven weeks and I ain't seen your face But don't you fall apart on me I'll see you in the spring Hey Valentina Won't you come back home to me? Everyday this island Taunts me with her ever stretching beaches If only I could sail I'd cover All the space between us And if I owned a parachute I'd fall fourteen thousand feet for you Hey Valentina Won't you come back home to me? Spent these twenty two years just wondering How this island could have made it as a prison And now I know 'cause you're not on it I've been working on the day shift And saving every dollar that I make Today I bought my ticket Flying north for fifteen hours straight And when I get there in the morning I hope you're waiting for me Hey Valentina Won't you come back home to me?
