Lyrics Whatever Happened To Benny Santini? - Chris Rea
They
say
his
chances
could
not
have
been
better
All
the
promise
of
a
July
sun
in
the
morning
sky
Laughing
at
the
peering
faces
From
the
windows
of
a
limousine
Caviar
with
the
A
& R
and
still
only
in
his
teens
So
whatever
happened?
I
can
see
him
now,
his
face
lit
up
in
neon
One
hand
up
in
the
air
as
he
turns
towards
the
crowd
His
songs
of
silver
arrows
they
tried
to
roll
into
gold
With
diamond
tips
from
painted
lips
Designed
and
ready
to
be
sold
They
say
he
could
not
fall
off
They
say
he
could
not
fail
The
wealth
and
fame
would
fire
his
flame
Just
as
soon
as
his
ship
set
sail
So
whatever
happened?
Whatever
happened
to
Benny
Santini?
Whatever
happened
to
the
guy
on
the
wall?
Where
did
he
go
to
if
he
could
not
fall
off
They
tell
you
they
don′t
know
They
don't
know
at
all
