Heaven, Vienna mine
I'm in the spell of your charms divine
Dressed like a queen, with life so gay
You are the love of my heart today
Heaven, Vienna mine
Laughter and music and stars that shine
Wonderful city where I belong
To you I sing my song
My heart seems to beat with rapture so sweet
I walk through the town in a trance
A lady so fair, beyond all compare
Has filled me with joy and romance
Her moods and her wiles, her frowns and her smiles
Keep changing so quickly each day
No wonder I dream, her beauty supreme
Enslaves me and I must obey
And though she has countless lovers like me
I have no wish to be set free
Heaven, Vienna mine
I'm in the spell of your charms divine
Dressed like a queen, with life so gay
You are the love of my heart today
Heaven, Vienna mine
Laughter and music and stars that shine
Wonderful city where I belong
Of her I sing my song

Composer(s): Rudolph Sieczynski; Kim Gannon
Performer(s): Shirley Jones & Jack Cassidy
Jack:
I hear you calling me
Lovely Vienna, so gay, so free
Shirley:
City of love and sparkling wine
You're such a part of this heart of mine
Both:
I hear you calling me
Beckoning out of the used to be
Jack:
Someday the dreams that I dream may come true
Both:
And I'll come back to you
Jack:
Oh what I would give if I could re-live
Those days in Vienna again
The spell of romance, the thrill of the dance
Went on like a lovely refrain
Shirley:
The thousand delights of magical nights
I spent in the starlight that gleams
I'm living till when I'm with you again
Vienna, my city of dreams
Both:
I hear you calling me
Lovely Vienna, so gay, so free
Jack:
City of love and sparkling wine
You're such a part of this heart of mine
Both:
I hear you calling me
Beckoning out of the used to be
Shirley:
Someday the dreams that I dream may come true
And I'll come back to you
