MARACAY

(w. JosephGilbert, m. Horatio Nicholls (Lawrence Wright))


Mantovani & His Orchestra
V. George Barclay
Recorded 11th May 1937



My dream boat sailed away
With me to Maracay
And there upon a veranda
I planned a love divine
The smile upon her face
The charm of her embrace
Was so excelling, my heart was telling
That she was mine

But fate was so unkind
I met my rival there
Soon she left me behind
For a new love affair

My dreamboat sailed away
With me from Maracay
And dreams that mattered
Were simply shattered
All in a day.
