Lyrics
Moon over Napoli
I am thinking of the night I spent so happily
When a dark-eyed maid invited me
To “See Naples and die”
Moon over Napoli
I am thinking of the day she said farewell to me
And I see her as my ship went out to sea
Waving goodbye
That she’d be ever true
Was her solemn vow
Still I am wondering who is kissing her now
Moon over Napoli
Does that dark-eyed signorina ever think of me
Does she know that once again I long
To “See Naples and die”
