Lyrics
- Every time I look at the moon, then I think of one night in June
Strolling long the bay at Havana
Stars up above, filling my heart with love
There I met the girl of my dreams, seems like yesterday
When I stole a kiss or two, what was there left to do
That’s what made me say
Chorus
I fell in love, while the moon was softly beaming
And of love my heart was dreaming, down Havana way
Two eyes beguiling, came along and started smiling
They surely took me by surprise, diamonds of the skies
While tiny lights were gleaming, out on the bay
My ship of love came by and took me away
I fell in love, while the Cuban moon above
Told me I’d stay, down Havana way
- Memory takes me back to the day, when with love I started to play
Once again I dream of Havana
Two eyes of blue, tell me they’re dreaming too
While I hold her close to my heart, never more to part
I drift down Havana way, and once again I say
Just before I start
