Contessa

Like your name, Contessa,
You've a touch of royalty.
Every step is a procession
To express your majesty.

I'll carry the flag for your side, in the battle.
Try finding a lad who loves you as true.

Did I get the right impression?
Did I take things the wrong way?
If I misread your expression,
Well, it's too late to save face.

I'll carry the flag for your side in the battle.
Through sorry and glad, I will be with you.
I will stay as seasons fade,
Try finding a lad who loves you as true.

Cuore bella, my Contessa,
Love has found me weaponless.
Give a sign to guide my eyes,
Lead the way with your caress.

Such a bold suggestion,
Just a line you tossed my way.
All I needed was your blessing,
'Fore I dive into the fray.

I'll carry the flag for your side, in the battle.
Through sorry and glad, I will be with you.
I will stay as seasons fade,
Try finding a lad who loves you as true.

Cuore bella, my Contessa,
Love has found me weaponless.
Give a sign to guide my eyes,
Lead the way with your caress.
