Beneath the Spanish Moon
Words by Ida Simpson and Music by Leo Bennett
Verse 1: Far across the broad Atlantic in a land you know,
Land of joy where dreams romantic softly come and go.
Twilight brings the shadows stealing thro' a garden fair,
Don Carlos his love appealing to a maiden there.
Chorus: Beneath the Spanish moon he played his guitar,
La la la lah, La la la lah,
Beneath the Spanish moon he sang merrily,
De de de dee, De de de dee,
Beneath the Spanish moon a love song he'd strum,
Dum dum dum dum, Dum dum dum dum
And very soon a wedding tune they will croon,
Beneath the Spanish moon.
Verse 2: When he sees the lovelight dancing in her wondrous eyes,
When he hears her voice entrancing he finds paradise,
, Then they learn the magic story ev'ry heart has vowed,
And the mooon in all its glory hides behind a cloud.
Chorus: Beneath the Spanish moon he played his guitar,
La la la lah, La la la lah,
Beneath the Spanish moon he sang merrily,
De de de dee, De de de dee,
Beneath the Spanish moon a love song he'd strum,
Dum dum dum dum, Dum dum dum dum
And very soon a wedding tune they will croon,
Beneath the Spanish moon.
