Candida (Live) - Tony Orlando

[Live Performance @ PBS-TV SuperStation Weekly PrimeTime Show "Ray Stevens CabaRay Nashville" - April 3rd, 2018]

Lyrics:

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
Trying 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, 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 is bright
The gypsy told me so last night
Said she saw our children playing in the sunshine
And there was 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, 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 trying 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 that life will be sweeter
