Lyrics

  1. Sentimental places
    Oriental faces
    Call to me o’er the distant sea
    Silver moonlight falling
    Eastern voices calling
    Remind me of a place I long to be

Chorus
Let me go where the Jack O’ Lanterns glow
Where the yellow moon hangs low
Life is full of golden hours
Let me go where the scented breezes blow
Someone Misses me I know
In the land of lotus flowers
Japanee is waiting there for me
Underneath the weeping willow tree
I want to go where the Jack O’ Lanterns glow

  1. Lamps of night are burning
    Memories are turning
    O’er and o’er to that distant shore
    All the while I’m dreaming
    All the while I’m scheming
    To get back to the one that I adore
