VERSE 01: Open the portals of memory,/Let the old honeymoon glow;/Take me again to old Tripoli,/Bring back the sweet long ago.REFRAIN: Floating on the bay at Tripoli,/Sweethearts, you and I/Just a little paradise for two/'Nearth a starlit sky./Vesper bells were a ringing,/Choir voices were singing;/While the moon above just spoke of love,/on the shores of Tripoli.VERSE 02: Just like a beautiful melody,/Haunting me all the day through,/So I am haunted by Tripoli,/When I am dreaming of you. | |
