Isle Of Capri Lyrics

Artist: Ray Noble

ISLE OF CAPRI
Ray Noble

'Twas on the Isle of Capri that I found her,
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree,
Oh, I can still see the flowers blooming 'round her,
Where we met on the Isle of Capri.

She was as sweet as the rose of the dawning,
But somehow Fate hadn't meant her for me,
And tho' I sailed with the tide in the morning,
Still my heart's on the Isle of Capri.

Summertime was nearly over,
Blue Italian skies above,
I said, "Lady, I'm a rover,
Can you spare a sweet word of love?"
She whispered softly, " 'Tis best not to linger,"
Then as I kissed her hand I could see
She wore a plain golden ring on her finger,
'Twas good-bye to the Isle of Capri.

THIS IS ONE OF THE LOVELIEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN AND MY MOTHER ANNA
USED TO LOVE TO SING IT AND FELT SORRY FOR THE POOR SAILOR WHO HAD TO LEAVE. IT IS ONE OF TEN WORLD CLASSIC SONGS.

This was a popular song when I was a young girl. My first visit to Capri was in 1949. I asked the guide to take us to an olive tree because I thought it was an Olive tree mentioned in the song. He took us up a hill side to an olive grove and I sang the song. It has always been a precious memory.
