The stars won't come out if they know that you're about
'Cause they couldn't match the glow of your eyes
And, oh, who am I?
Just an ordinary guy
Tryin' hard to win me first prize

Oh, Candida
We could make it together
The further from here, girl, the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Hmm-hmm, Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
And it said so in my dreams

The future looks bright, the gypsy told me so last night
Said she saw our children playing in the sunshine
And there were you and I in a house, baby, no lie
And all these things were yours, and they were mine

Whoa, my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here, girl, the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Hmm-hmm, Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
And it said so in my dreams

And oh, who am I?
Just an ordinary guy
You know I'm tryin' hard to win me first prize

Oh, my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here, girl, the better
Where the air is fresh and clean (come with me)
Whoa, my Candida (come with me)
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
And it said so in my dreams
