Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Many dreams I dreamt
Many days I spent
By the golden gate away out west
Flowers all year ’round
Ev’rywhere are found
There I left the ones that I love best
Chorus
Golden gate, golden gate by the sea
Someone’s waiting, waiting there for me
When my good ship comes a-sailing
Happy I will be, open wide
Swing aside, Golden gate
Hear me calling, calling to my mate
So, drive away Sadness
Bring back the gladness
Golden gate open for me
- Ev’ry day a year
Ev’ry sigh a tear
Since I left the land of sunny clime
Days just seem to fly
Clouds drifted by
I’ll be back in orange blossom time
