On the first night of the full moon
Wait for me down by the shore
On the first night of the full moonlight
I will be returning and I'll never leave you any more

Oh, my darling, it's time for us to part
Take my heart and promise you'll be faithful
It's the last time I'll sail the ocean blue
Say you'll be there when I come back to you

I will bring you a lamp to light your room
Rare perfume and yards of silk and satin'
And an ocean of pearls upon a string
'Round your fingers I'll place a wedding ring
