《What If We Went To Italy(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] What If We Went To Italy - Mary Chapin Carpenter

[00:00:11] What if we went to Italy

[00:00:17] A suitcase of books and one bag a piece for the summer

[00:00:25] I don't speak a word of Italian

[00:00:33] Except for Campari and soda for two how much is a Lire

[00:00:41] Yes a villa will do and a breeze in Tuscany please

[00:00:56] What if we spent all of our days

[00:01:01] Improving our minds learning new ways to be lazy

[00:01:09] It wouldn't be too much of a strain

[00:01:17] Relax after breakfast till lunch comes around

[00:01:23] Can't wait for dinner oh I need to lie down

[00:01:29] And refuel out by the pool

[00:01:40] What if the ancients were lazy like us

[00:01:45] Too blissed out to paint to sketch or to sculpt

[00:01:51] Just as relaxed as the tower of Pisa

[00:01:57] Not ever missing that old Mona Lisa

[00:02:02] What if we never got back on the plane

[00:02:07] As summer turned colder and then warmer again

[00:02:13] Losing all track of the passing of years

[00:02:18] Till it no longer mattered how long we'd been here

[00:02:49] What if we went to Italy

[00:02:55] Maybe next year just you and me for the summer

[00:03:03] I still can't speak any Italian

[00:03:11] But words are replaced under Siennese skies

[00:03:16] By nothing so much as a nod and a sigh

[00:03:23] And a wish to be always like this
