A sleepy lagoon A tropical moon and two on an island A sleepy lagoon And two hearts in tune In some lullaby land The fireflies gleam Reflect 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 I'm lost in the spell That 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
Stand still Oh heaven and earth and river Atand still Oh time in your endless flight If love can but command The moon will stand The sun won't wake The day won't break and it will always be tonight
The leaves from the trees All dance in the breeze And float on the ripples I'm lost in the spell That 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
