Arcady 1923 Al Jolson

In my heart there comes a tender yearning,
At the crimson close of day.
Memories of Arcady returning,
And I hear a voice that seems to say:

With a smile, you stole my heart from me,
In Arcady,
After while you had to part from me
And Arcady.
In the grey of ev'ry dawn,
Ev'ry day since you've been gone,
How I pray that you'll come on to me,
And Arcady.

With a smile, you stole my heart from me,
In Arcady,
After while you had to part from me
And Arcady.
In the grey of ev'ry dawn,
Ev'ry day since you've been gone,
How I pray that you'll come on to me,
And Arcady.

As the dusk on Arcady was falling,
We were very happy then.
So when e'er the nightingale is calling
I can hear you whisper once again:

With a smile, you stole my heart from me,
In Arcady,
After while you had to part from me
And Arcady.
In the grey of ev'ry dawn,
Ev'ry day since you've been gone,
How I pray that you'll come on to me,
And Arcady.

With a smile, you stole my heart from me,
In Arcady,
After while you had to part from me
And Arcady.
In the grey of ev'ry dawn,
Ev'ry day since you've been gone,
How I pray that you'll come on to me,
And Arcady.
