Lyrics

  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 lovesong he’d strum
Dum dum dum dum, Dum dum dum dum
And very soon, a wedding tune they will croon

2. When he sees the lovelight dancing in her wondrous eyes
When he hears here voice entrancing he finds paradise
Then they learn the magic story ev’ry heart has vowed
And the moon in all its glory hides behind a cloud
