Coronado Nights 1927

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 16 Feb 2005

Something always brings mem'ries back
once again,
happy hours we spent
when our love first began.
Tho' you're far away I spend ev'ry day
dreaming dreams dear to me
but there's one memory,
haunts me always I see:

Coronado nights in the pale moonlight
near the sheltering palms
Coronado nights brought me new delights
with you there in my arms.
Melodies that please harmonies
that tease, haunting
Lovers seem to croon
and the world is in tune,
Memories so dear always linger near
of the night I met you
in that land of old love's old tale I told to you
You may not be near
Skies may not be clear
but that sweet memory
Coronado nights bring you closer to me.

Coronado nights in the pale moonlight
near the sheltering palms
Coronado nights brought me new delights
with you there in my arms.
Melodies that please harmonies
that tease, haunting
Lovers seem to croon
and the world is in tune,
Memories so dear always linger near
of the night I met you
in that land of old love's old tale I told to you
You may not be near
Skies may not be clear
but that sweet memory
Coronado nights bring you closer to me.

Take me back again to the land of our love.
Give me just one kiss for each star up above.
Let me whisper dear that I'm always near
that I'll always be true
in my dreams I'm happy,
for my dreams are of you:

Coronado nights in the pale moonlight
near the sheltering palms
Coronado nights brought me new delights
with you there in my arms.
Melodies that please harmonies
that tease, haunting
Lovers seem to croon
and the world is in tune,
Memories so dear always linger near
of the night I met you
in that land of old love's old tale I told to you
You may not be near
Skies may not be clear
but that sweet memory
Coronado nights bring you closer to me.

Coronado nights in the pale moonlight
near the sheltering palms
Coronado nights brought me new delights
with you there in my arms.
Melodies that please harmonies
that tease, haunting
Lovers seem to croon
and the world is in tune,
Memories so dear always linger near
of the night I met you
in that land of old love's old tale I told to you
You may not be near
Skies may not be clear
but that sweet memory
Coronado nights bring you closer to me.
