While visiting Russia in 1995, I found a basement bar and it just so happened that the Beatles were on stage playing, Ed Sullivan show era, though they sang in Russian. That’s where I met Natasha… and if you can speak Russian, the last line is for you.

Lyrics:
A smokey room, a foreign place, I have come to see the land we once feared
The people smile, like old friends and everybody starts to cheer
The band rocks across the stage, everybody moves to catch their heartbeat
I spy you watching me beneath your long hair and everything just melts away

Chorus 1: Natasha, Natasha, you caught me with your eyes,
Look into my soul, it’s love that you shall find.
The world may be in between, but that isn’t how it has to be!

We shared a smile, I watched you dance, then you held your hand out inviting.
Nothing to say, nothing to lose from one slow dance with you
But it could translate exciting

Chorus 2: Natasha, Natasha, you caught me with your eyes,
Look into my soul, it’s love that you shall find.
Natasha, there’s a world to define, we can show them how it all could be!

As the music ended we made wishes with our eyes
A voice called out your name and you drew back to his side
My pipe dreams blew away and I wondered if you cared
If you looked back just once I would know I should have dared…
…spin your golden hair….let me hold your longing stare….
Then she turned with a smile, I was walking on air!
Chorus 1 and 2

Natasha! N-n-n-n- Natasha!
This could only mean…Ya Tebya Looblyu!
