Hotel California - James Last

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway;

I heard the mission bell

And I was thinking to myself,

«This could be Heaven or this could be Hell»

Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor,

I thought I heard them say…

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely face

Such a lovely face

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

What a nice surprise

Bring your alibis

You have my heart

And we’ll never be worlds apart

Maybe in magazines

But you’ll still be my star

Baby, 'cause in the dark

You can’t see shiny cars

And that’s when you need me there

With you I’ll always share

Because

When the sun shines, we’ll shine together

Told you I’d be here forever

Said I’ll always be a friend

Took an oath I’ma stick it out 'til the end

Now that it’s raining more than ever

Know that we’ll still have each other

You can stand under my umbrella

You can stand under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh)

Under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh)

Under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh eh eh)

Under my umbrella

(Ella ella eh ehhhh)

Oh oh oh oh because

Oh oh, California

Such a lovely face

Such a lovely face (yeah yeah)

Maybe you’re through man the Hotel California

What a nice surprise

Bring your alibis…
