a 1922 popular song
words by Joseph A. Burke
music by Earl Burtnett
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- On the golden sand of my dreamland I’m longing to be
By the sapphire waters straying
While a sweet guitar, soft from afar, calls me constantly
And “Come back to me” ’tis playing
Chorus
Just to be a while on Sunset Isle
Just to hear her voice and see her smile
Like an angel’s song, entralling calling to me
Just to see her lovelit eyes once more
Just to hold her as in days of yore
All the sweetest dreams on earth worth while
Wait on that dreamy Sunset Isle
- In a garden by a silver sea she waits patiently
And her heart is filled with yearning
Through the scented breeze love melodies she’s sending to me
As she waits for my returning
