1196. ISLE OF CAPRI 1934 |
\n‘TWAS ON THE ISLE OF CAPRI
\nTHAT I FOUND HER,
\nBENEATH THE SHADE OF
\nAN OLD WALNUT TREE.
\nOH, I CAN STILL SEE THE FLOWERS
\nBLOOMING’ROUND HER,
\nWHERE WE MET ON THE ISLE OF CAPRI.
\nSHE WAS AS SWEET AS A ROSE
\nAT THE DAWNING.
\nBUT SOMEHOW FATE HADN’T
\nMEANT HER FOR ME.
\nAND THOUGH I SAILED WITH THE TIDE
\nIN THE MORNING,
\nSTILL MY HEART’S ON THE ISLE OF CAPRI.
\nSUMMERTIME WAS NEARLY OVER,
\nBLUE ITALIAN SKY ABOVE.
\nI SAID, “LADY I’M A ROVER,
\nCAN YOU SPARE A SWEET WORD OF LOVE?”
\nSHE WHISPERED SOFTLY,
\n“IT’S BEST NOT TO LINGER.”
\nAND THEN AS I KISSED HER HAND
\nI COULD SEE.
\nSHE WORE A PLAIN GOLDEN RING
\nON HER FINGER.
