Whatever Happened To Benny Santini? 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 & are 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 of 

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 of 

They tell you they don't know 

They don't know at all
