MAIMOONA  

©1998 - music and words by John R. Black, ℗ 42nd Street Music Seattle

​

Oh I went to Italy to visit a friend

She said come to stay in the mountains

So I did

Oh we talked and we drank espresso

And she painted a picture for me

And we laughed

 

Her name flows like the flowing river

She laughs like a child, in a dream

Maimoona is her name

Maimoona is her name  

 

Oh I love the mountains and Italian nights

And the wind whistling through the trees

How beautiful it is

Could it be the world will be at peace

Could it be there will be no war

I hope so

 

Let our dreams flow like the river

Let us laugh like a child in a dream

Maimoona is her name

Maimoona is her name  

 

Come with me to visit Maimoona

I will never forget her name

I will never forget her name
