Lyrics
- I’m sad when I think of my Rose Marie
Sometimes I think my heart will break in two
I leave her back home, out in Italy
Where sunshine is bright and skies are always blue
Beneath the soft Italian moon
Birds are singing, Love they’re bringing soon
Chorus:
On the shores of Italy
There my sweetheart waits for me
In my dreams I always hear
How she say, “Baby, come back to me”
And I’ll take a ship some day
Then I’ll sail far, far away
Oh! my Marie, your face I see
It’s calling me
On the shores of Italy
- My Rose Marie’s eyes are so beautiful
They look just like the stars that shine above
The birds have no fear, when they know she’s near
They sing to her their sweetest songs of love
Oh! how my heart for her it yearns
My sweet baby, I see, maybe, soon
