Lyrics
A lonely little maid across the sea
Is waiting for her sweetheart patiently
As twilight falls and night draws near
She seems to hear a haunting melody
That brings a thought of days that used to be
This old love song she seems to hear
Song of India, Oh bring my love back to me
Song of India, find him where-e’re he may be
Oh! that magic melody of love
That seems to come right from above
May it wander on across the sea
And bring my lover back to me
Go upon your way until you find him
Whisper words of love that will remind him
Tell him of the one he left behind him
Bring him back oh! Song of India
