A letra:

Your silver nights and golden days
I try to reach you in a million ways
I'm crazy 'bout you, Bonnie, can you tell?
Your diamond rings and fancy clothes
How do I want you, babe? Well, Heaven knows
I'm wild about you, Bonnie, can't you see?

Hey Bonnie
I've loved you, oh, so long
I know we'd get along
Hey Bonnie, will you ever notice me?
Yes I know you, oh, so well
Just one look and I fell
Please tell me that our love will always be

I've seen your films and all your plays
I read about you every single day
I'd like to get my loving arms 'round you
From rags to riches, you've got it made
How does it feel to be a famous name?
Well, Bonnie, can you do the same for me?

Oh, Bonnie
I feel you in my soul
And to love you is my role
Oh, Bonnie, you're the only one for me
Yes, I've got my fortune read
And here's what the gypsy said
That we'll live and love and share eternity

Bonnie, please be nice
We'll find paradise
Beneath the golden skies
Bonnie, you're so good
Make me, if you could
The toast of Hollywood
I'll give you all my love
We'll really live it up
Beneath the stars above

Your silver nights and golden days
I try to reach you in a million ways
I'm crazy 'bout you, Bonnie, can you tell?
Your diamond rings and fancy clothes
How do I want you, babe? Well, Heaven knows
I'm wild about you, Bonnie, can't you see?

Away
Away
