Amanda - Manuel de Falla

Amanda Lyrics

I've held it all inward, Lord knows I've tried
It's an awful awakening in a country boy's life
To look in the mirror in total surprise
At the hair on your shoulders and the age in your eyes
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should've made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should've made you a gentleman's wife
Well a measure of people don't understand
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar when I was 14
Now I'm crowding 30 and still wearing jeans
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should've made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should've made you a gentleman's wife
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should've made you a gentleman's wife

Amanda, light of my life
Fate should've made you a gentleman's wife
