Isle Of Capri lyrics

`Twas on the Isle of Capri that he found her
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree
Oh, I can still see the flowers blooming `round her
Where they met on the Isle of Capri

She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning
But somehow fate hadn`t meant it to be
And though he sailed with the tide in the morning
Still his heart`s in the Isle of Capri

Summertime was nearly over
Blue Italian sky above
He said, lady, I`m a rover
Can you spare a sweet word of love
She whispered softly, it`s best not to linger
And then as he kissed her hand he could see
She wore a plain golden ring on her finger
`Twas good-bye on the Isle of Capri

Somewhere far away, over Naples Bay
I heard a quaint lover`s story
It`s magic thrill holds a spell on me still
It`s a story old, that`s been sadly told
Down by the shore in the moonlight
How love began for a girl and a man

`Twas on the Isle of Capri that he found her
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree
Ha-ha-ha-hahhhhhh, ha-ha-ha-hah
Where they met on the Isle of Capri

She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning
But somehow fate hadn`t meant it to be
Ha-ha-ha-hahhhhhh, ha-ha-ha-hah
Still his heart`s in the Isle of Capri

Summertime was nearly over
Blue Italian sky above
He said, lady, I`m a rover
Can you spare a sweet word of love
Ha-ha-ha-hah, ha-ha-hah, ha-ha-hah-hah
Ha-ha-ha-hah, ha-ha-hah, ha-ha-hahhh
She wore a plain golden ring on her finger
`Twas good-bye on the Isle of Capri
