Lyrics

  1. From all they say they’ve seen there
    In Arcady
    I would that I had been there?
    In Arcady
    Someday I’ll meet a lady fair
    To whom my fondest hopes I’ll bare
    And beg that she will take me there
    To Arcady

Refrain
We’ll go away, away from here
For just one hour of love sincere
And there beneath some sheltering tree
With shade enough for her and me
We’ll live to love and love to live
What else is there that life can give?
Just for one day, just for one day
That I may say, that I may say
I’ve lived in Arcady

  1. Rare dream flowers only grow there
    In Arcady
    You’ll see them if you go there
    In Arcady
    There solitude is nevver known
    Joy finds a country all it’s own
    And none may enter there alone
    In Arcady
