Tony Orlando "Candida"

The stars won't come out
If they know that your about
Cuz they couldn't match the glow of your eyes...
And though...who am I...
Just an ordinary guy...trying hard to win me first prize

Chorus

Whoa Candida....We could make it together
The further from here girl the better
Where the air is fresh and clean

Hmmm hmmm Candida....Just take my hand and I"ll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter....and it says so in my dreams

The future is bright...the gypsy told me so last night
Said she saw our children playin...in the sunshine
And then it was you and I....in a house baby no lie
And alllll these things were your's...and they were mine

Repeat Chorus

And though who am I....Just an ordinary guy
Ya know I'm tryin hard to win me first prize

Oh my Candida...We could make it together...
The further from here girl the better....
Where the air is fresh and clean

Whoa my Candida...Just take my hand and I"ll lead ya
I promise the life will be sweeter...And it says so in my dreams

In 1970, I was sitting on a bar stool in Taichung, Taiwan, and this song was playing on the juke box. Had an ex-wife in Singapore, while the girl of my dreams was in Tokyo. A major misty moment. I had no idea how we'd ever 'make it together,' but we did for 30 years until fate stepped in, and took her. Thanks for posting it.

I always liked this song and the way Tony and dawn sing it.

Tony Orlando strikes me as a heavy Aqua Velva cologne smelling man...haha... just like The World's Most Interesting Man, whose blood is made of cologne

Because you shouldn't have shoved that Chupa Chups lollipop up there where the Sun don't shine.

And now you gotta wash daily around down there with some sodium bicarbonate - water solution. Naughty Girl.

These black women are very hot

Our high school band was playing this song and the vocalist was my classmate named Candelario.

Love this song!!

[David Caywood]

That has got to be one of the deepest post's i've ever seen on youtube.

Oh how I laughed when I read this...how appropriate a reaction...why?! I was on here proving to a friend that this was an actual song. She thought I made it up to make fun of the yeast infection. : ) I guess Tony Orlando didn't know about the yeast...or the garlic cure

This isn't the original, but I like it BETTER! Anyone know when this was recorded?
