SLEEPY LAGOON

Harry James

- words by Jack Lawrence, music by Eric Coates



A sleepy lagoon, a tropical moon and two on an island

A sleepy lagoon and two hearts in tune in some lullabyland

The fireflies' gleam reflects 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

We're deep in a spell as 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
