(Words by Jack Lawrence and music by Eric Coates)
|
A sleepy lagoon
|
A tropical moon and two on an island
|
A sleepy lagoon
|
And two hearts in tune
|
In some lullaby land
|
The fireflies gleam
|
Reflect in the stream
|
They sparkle and shimmer
|
A star from on high
|
Falls out of the sky
|
And slowly grows dimmer
|
|
The leaves from the trees
|
All dance in the breeze
|
And float on the ripples
|
I'm lost in the spell
|
That nightingales tell of roses and dew
|
The memory of this moment of love
|
Will haunt me forever
|
A tropical moon
|
A sleepy lagoon, and you
|
|
Stand still
|
Oh heaven and earth and river
|
Atand still
|
Oh time in your endless flight
|
If love can but command
|
The moon will stand
|
The sun won't wake
|
The day won't break and it will always be tonight
|
|
The leaves from the trees
|
All dance in the breeze
|
And float on the ripples
|
I'm lost in the spell
|
That nightingales tell of roses and dew
|
The memory of this moment of love
|
Will haunt me forever
|
A tropical moon
|
A sleepy lagoon
|
And you
|
|
