Lyrics

  1. Beneath the palms of Paradise
    How sweet our love would seem
    Yet, e’en as in the sunset skies
    The wealth of golden color dies
    So died love’s golden dream
    But when heart answered heart with sighs
    When eyes in silence answered eyes
    Life seemed like joy without alloy
    Beneath the palms of Paradise

Refrain
O! come with me, across the sea
My heart and soul’s most precious prize
And tho’ in vain, love once again
Beneath the palms of Paradise
O! come with me, across the sea
My heart and soul’s most precious prize
And tho’ in vain, love once again
Beneath the palms of Paradise
And tho’ in vain, love once again
Beneath the palms of Paradise

  1. Beneath the palms of Paradise
    In dreams I linger yet
    My heart is sad, the night is long
    But still in woos with magic song
    And vows he’ll ne’er forget
    In dreams those visions fond arise
    And happy tears bedim my eyes
    For love’s sweet sake my heart could break
    Beneath the palms of Paradise
