|
Of all the stars that ever shone |
|
Not one does twinkle like your pale blue eyes |
|
Like golden corn at harvest time your hair |
|
Sailing in my boat the wind |
|
Gently blows and fills my sail |
|
Your sweet-scented breath is everywhere |
|
Daylight peeping through the curtain |
|
Of the passing night time is your smile |
|
And the sun in the sky is like your laugh |
|
Come back to me my Nancy |
|
Linger for just a little while |
|
Since you left these shores I've known no peace |
|
Nor joy |
|
Chorus: |
|
No matter where I wander I'm still haunted |
|
by your name |
|
The portrait of your beauty stays the same |
|
Standing by the ocean wondering where you've |
|
gone, if you'll return again |
|
Where is the ring I gave to Nancy Spain |
|
On the day in Spring when snow starts to melt |
|
And streams to flow |
|
With the birds I'll sing this song |
|
Then in the while I'll wander |
|
Down by bluebell stream where wild flowers grow |
|
And I'll hope that lovely Nancy will return |
|
Chorus |
