Eric Coates By The Sleepy Lagoon (Valse Serenade) (Theme From 'Desert Island Discs') Lyrics

BY THE SLEEPY LAGOON
(Jack Lawrence / Eric Coates)
Dinah Shore

A sleepy lagoon, a tropical moon, and two on an island
A sleepy lagoon and two hearts in tune, in some far off island
The fireflies gleam reflects in the stream
They sparkle and shimmer
A star from on high falls out of the sky and slowly grows dimmer
The leaves from the trees all dance in the breeze and float on the ripples
We're deep in a spell as nightingales tell of roses and dew
The memory of this moment of love will haunt me forever
A tropical moon, a sleepy lagoon and you

The memory of this moment of love will haunt me forever
A sleepy lagoon, a tropical moon and you

A sleepy lagoon and you
