Andrea wrote this song in Florence, Italy. It's a tribute to the romantic city and it's beautiful people.
lyrics
Verse 1:
It’s the Florentine way
To say what you mean
You know my heart it longs for you
It’s the Florentine way
To trust and believe
Good things will come to those who wait
Chorus:
Firenze, your beauty your charm
One look, and I am disarmed I just can’t pretend
I’m not falling for you
It’s true
Verse 2:
The bells are ringing
Over Ponte Vecchio
So many treasures made of gold
My heart is singing
For it is you I adore
Marry me darling don’t let go
Chorus:
Firenze, your beauty your charm
One look, and I am disarmed I just can’t pretend
I’m not falling for you
It’s true
Electric Guitar solo
(aah)
Chorus:
Firenze, your beauty your charm
One look, and I am disarmed I just can’t pretend
I’m not falling for you
It’s true
Instrumental outro
(vocal scat)
