Of all the stars that ever shone

Not one does twinkle like your pale blue eyes

Like golden corn at harvest time your hair

Sailing in my boat the wind

Gently blows and fills my sail

Your sweet-scented breath is everywhere



Daylight peeping through the curtain

Of the passing night time is your smile

And the sun in the sky is like your laugh

Come back to me my Nancy

Linger for just a little while

Since you left these shores I've known no peace

Nor joy



Chorus:

No matter where I wander I'm still haunted

by your name

The portrait of your beauty stays the same

Standing by the ocean wondering where you've

gone, if you'll return again

Where is the ring I gave to Nancy Spain



On the day in Spring when snow starts to melt

And streams to flow

With the birds I'll sing this song

Then in the while I'll wander

Down by bluebell stream where wild flowers grow

And I'll hope that lovely Nancy will return



Chorus
