I SHALL RETURN
Shirl / Drake

as rec by Anne Shelton w Stanley Black & his Orch  
Dec 9th 1952


I shall return;
My true lover, wait for me,
Tonight I sail across a coral sea.
I shall return,
So dry your eyes and kiss me;
The kiss you give
One day I shall return!

I shall return
Before too many moons shall rise.
Look for my sake
Where waters meet the skies.
Give me your love;
With all my heart I promise
The love you give
Some day I shall return!

I shall return,
So dry your eyes and kiss me;
The kiss you give
One day I shall return!
