|
'twas on the Isle of Capri that I found you |
|
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree |
|
Oh, I can still see the flowers blooming round her |
|
Where we met on the Isle of Capri |
|
She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning |
|
But somehow fate hadn't meant her for me |
|
And though I sailed with the tide in the morning |
|
Still my heart's on the Isle of Capri |
|
Summertime was nearly over |
|
Blue Italian sky above |
|
I said 'Lady, I am a rover, |
|
Can you spare a sweet word of love?' |
|
She whispered softly 'It's best not to linger' |
|
And then as I kissed her hand I could see |
|
She wore a lovely meatball on her finger |
|
'twas goodbye at the Villa Capri |
