If Our Lips Should Meet, Innamorata



Kiss me, kiss me, sweet Innamorata. I know it's the middle of the night, but I had the urge to blog of all things after listening to Dean Martin songs, in particular "Innamorata". It is the ultimate romantic song, with so much grace and beauty in its words, a perfect weaving of the most beautiful aspects of the English and Italian languages.



So of course my mind went to Italy, and it's unbelievable breathtaking beauty. So I wondered how I could show my appreciation for Italy on this blog- and then I remembered the printscreens from Roman Holiday that I've been wanting to put up, but haven't quite known how to go about it. I think Clarissa will be proud that I broke out a little Italy. The words beneath the pictures are the lyrics to Innamorata.



"If our lips should meet, Innamorata, kiss me, kiss me, sweet Innamorata.





Hold me close and say you're mine




With a love as warm as wine



I'm at Heaven's door, Innamorata







Want you more and more, Innamorata

You're a symphony...
the very beautiful sonata, my Innamorata


Say that you're my sweetheart, my love.


You're a symphony



the very beautiful sonata, my Innamorata


Say that you're my sweetheart



My one and only sweetheart


Oh say that

you're my sweetheart...

my love!"
