Xavier Cugat - Isle of Capri (with Luis Alvarez) Lyrics

Lyrics Isle of Capri (with Luis Alvarez) - Xavier Cugat



′T was on the Isle of Capri that I found her
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'm 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
′T was goodbye at the villa Capri
Summertime was nearly over
Blue Italian sky above
I said "Lady, I′m a rover,
Can you spare a fine 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 plain golden ring on her finger
′T was goodbye on the Isle of Capri
'T was goodbye on the Isle of Capri
′T was goodbye on the Isle of Capri
