NIGHT IN ROME song lyrics/Words by Joel Sattler
Music by Char Lee

There was once a night in Rome
that I still remember well
She had found a life in crime
And I, a private hell
She left a trace of her perfume
In a musty old hotel
Just a trace of her perfume…..

Lost in a memory
Eaten by envy
Sharp and hard as the edge of a knife
I know it was wrong
But I needed so long
And now I can never make things right
Forever wanting
Forever taunting
That night she walked right out of my life

I was born to be a gambling man
Raised up on the dice
So it wasn’t up to me
To argue on the price
When I gave her all that I had
She took all that I owned
Left with just the skin on my bones
Just the skin on my bones….

Lost in a memory
Eaten up by envy
Sharp and hard as the edge of a knife
I know it was wrong
But I needed so long
and now I can never make things right
Forever wanting
I can still hear her taunting
That night she walked right out of my life

There was once a night in Rome
that I still remember well
She had found a life in crime
And I, a private hell
She left a trace of her perfume
In a musty old hotel
Just a trace of her perfume…..

ORIGINAL VERSION:

NIGHT IN ROME song lyrics/Words by Joel Sattler

I try to forget a night in Rome but still remember well
She had found a life in crime and I a private hell
She came without a secret, cast me in her spell
Left a trace of her perfume in musty old hotel

Lost inside these memories
Sharp as the edge of a knife
Of that night forever taunting
The night she walked into my life

Born a gambler, raised up on the throwing of the dice
So it wasn't up to me to argue on the price
When I gave her all I had she took all that I owned
Lucky to be left with just the skin upon my bones
