Jade Bondino

A Love Story

Spanish Flare

Southern Country

Classical with Orchestra

Verse 1 

Oh, Jade Bondino, you’ve captured my will

Your dancing has power, has beauty and skill.

I first saw you on Martino’s wide stage.

The music, the magic, your flowing long braid.

Who could touch you? You’re above us all.

Jade Bondino, at your feet I would crawl.

We met accidentally that night in the fall.

We came together at a dance hall.

Verse 2

We danced in a barn with the lanterns low,

Joy in the air, our hearts seemed to know.

Your blue-jeans and smile, that red rose aflame,

I hoped for our future when you said my name.

Verse 3

Relaxing at sunset, your hand in mine,

Laughing and love, had plenty of time.

The world felt steady, I wanted you.

Everyday, everything drew me to you.

Chorus

I’ve been called away by a bugle’s sound,

Orders say leave, don’t turn around.

They say a year, but there’s no design,

I’ll come back to you if God is kind.

Verse 4

I cherish you now, but nothing seems right.

It’s crowded days and lonely nights.

I see your face in the morning sun,

Wide awake, I remember our fun.

Verse 5

No promise written, no date to hold,

Just faith and love and a heart that’s bold.

If time stays honest, if stars align,

Please be waiting when I’ve served my time.

Chorus

I’ve been called away by a bugle’s sound,

Orders say leave, don’t turn around.

They say a year, but there’s no design,

I’ll come back to you if God is kind.

Bridge

From dreams to prayers, I’ve said many,

Jade, many men want you, yes plenty.

I march with hope, For you I’m steady.

For you, all the time, my heart is ready.

Final Chorus

I’ve been called away, but not from love,

My love is deep, reaches clouds above.

A year from now, or further down the line,

I’ll come back to you if God is kind.
