When He Comes Back To Me 1916

Once a little Japanese,
sweet as any maid could be.
Met a sailor man one day.
And he stole her heart away.
Told her that he loved her true.
Just like sailormen all do.
Then one day they had to part,
and he left a broken heart,
Now she waits and murmurs low.

He'll come back to me,
from across the sea.
He promised when cherry blossoms bloom here
I will scent their perfume dear,
and I'll return to you.
Here in old Japan.
With his Cho Cho San
and ev'ry night
beneath the Japanese lantern's glow,
I will tell him true
how I love him so.
When he comes back to me.

He'll come back to me,
from across the sea.
He promised when cherry blossoms bloom here
I will scent their perfume dear,
and I'll return to you.
Here in old Japan.
With his Cho Cho San
and ev'ry night
beneath the Japanese lantern's glow,
I will tell him true
how I love him so.
When he comes back to me.
