Croce Di Oro (Cross Of Gold)

Patti Page

Written by James "Kim" Gannon



Peaked at # 16 in 1955

Features an arrangement similar to Les Paul & Mary Ford's smash 1953 hit "Vaya Con Dios."



You'll be gone when the dawn comes tomorrow

You'll be far, far away out at sea

So I give you this croce di oro

It will bring you home safely to me



Ev'ry hour we're apart will be sorrow

In the chapel a candle will burn

Take my love and this croce di oro

I will pray for you till you return



My darling, my darling, my darling

Do you see that star in the blue?

Each night I will give it a message

And the star will give it to you



Till we meet on that far-off tomorrow

May the Good Lord be with you and then

With the help of this croce di oro

You'll be back in my arms once again



With the help of this croce di oro

You'll be back in my arms once again (croce di oro)
