Caribbean Dream from Tin Angel by Dan Sullivan

Way down in Havana where the gamblers used to go
And the Caribbean winds in the evening softly blow
I was on shore leave in the merchant marine
She was waiting tables looking like a gypsy queen

Ooh Lala how she loved me
Ooh Lala how she loved me

She wore a ruby necklace and a rose in her hair
I was drowning in her eyes, I didn’t have a prayer
She slipped me the key to a room just down the street
And later that night she slipped between the sheets

Ooh Lala how she loved me
Ooh Lala how she loved me

But everything in this world
Isn’t always what it seems
One of these days you might find yourself
Waking from a dream

I remember every kiss til we fell asleep at dawn
Later when I woke that morning she was already gone
I thought it might have been a dream and all in my head
’Til I saw that red rose laying on the bed

Ooh Lala how she loved me
Ooh Lala how she loved me
