Amapola - 1924

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 22 Sept 2001

A boy found his dream upon a distant shore.
A maid with a way of whisp'ring 'si señor.'
Each night while guitars would softly play,
the tune seem'd to dance
'round the words that he'd say:

Amapola, my pretty little poppy,
you're like that lovely flow'r
so sweet and heavenly.
Since I found you,
my heart is wrapp'd around you,
and loving you it seems to beat a rhapsody.
Amapola, the pretty little poppy
must copy its endearing charm from you.
Amapola, Amapola,
How I long to hear you say
I love you.

Amapola, my pretty little poppy,
you're like that lovely flow'r
so sweet and heavenly.
Since I found you,
my heart is wrapp'd around you,
and loving you it seems to beat a rhapsody.
Amapola, the pretty little poppy
must copy its endearing charm from you.
Amapola, Amapola,
How I long to hear you say
I love you.

The boy left his love upon a distant shore,
and sailed from the one his arms
were longing for.
He vowed he'd return one sunny day,
once more to repeat
what his heart had to say:

Amapola, my pretty little poppy,
you're like that lovely flow'r
so sweet and heavenly.
Since I found you,
my heart is wrapp'd around you,
and loving you it seems to beat a rhapsody.
Amapola, the pretty little poppy
must copy its endearing charm from you.
Amapola, Amapola,
How I long to hear you say
I love you.

Amapola, my pretty little poppy,
you're like that lovely flow'r
so sweet and heavenly.
Since I found you,
my heart is wrapp'd around you,
and loving you it seems to beat a rhapsody.
Amapola, the pretty little poppy
must copy its endearing charm from you.
Amapola, Amapola,
How I long to hear you say
I love you.
