As I lie in the shade here, all alone
More lovely a lady ne�er I�ll find
Yet time has passed and away you�ve flown
The palm trees, swaying ever so lightly,
Reminds me of how we used to dance
Your eyes were jewels that sparkled so brightly -
Eyes so blue they froze me with a glance
Your skin was softer than the fine white sand
That covers these beaches on which I lie
O what I�d give to again hold your hand
And to dance with you till the day I die
You shone with a beauty that rivalled the sun
But now the sun�s set and night�s begun.
