EXAMPLES FOR VOCABULARY UNIT 1

Trabajo de Inglés - Ranalli

"I wish that I could see you soon" by Herman Düne

I wish that I could see you soon

I had to leave you and go away but I
think about you everyday
in the morning and the afternoon
I wish that I could see you soon

and when I held you I felt so fine
it was like there was nothing left on my mind
it was like Rockaway Beach in the month of June
I wish that I could see you soon

I had no plans to meet you baby
I had a million things to do baby
but you hit my heart with a harpoon
I wish that I could see you soon

The angels go ''How long 'til you can see her?''
and I'm like: ''The sooner the better'',
''Do you really think she will wait for you?''
''Well I have no way to say and there's nothing I can do,
well I have no way to say and there's nothing I can do'', go!

Now listen, now that I am across the sea
I wonder if you're gonna wait for me
or if you're gonna find a new boy to spoon
I wish that I could see you soon

and if you wait a little my pretty friend
until I come back to hold your hand
we'll be like bugs when they break through a cocoon
you know, I wish that I could see you soon

it's been a while since I felt like this
now i found someone I really miss
under the sun, under the moon
I wish that I could see you soon

Angels: ''how long 'til you can see her?''
and I'm like: ''The sooner the better''
angels: ''do you really think she will wait for you?''
and i'm like: ''there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do'', go!

Angels again: ''How long 'til you can see her?''
I'm like: ''Well, the sooner the better''
''Do you really think she will wait for you?''
and I'm like: ''There's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
no way to say and there's nothing I can do,
Well, no way to say and there's nothing I can do
no way to say and there's nothing I can do''
