Lyrics
Lights were gleaming
Down in the harbor below
We were dreaming dreams
That we’ve since learned to know
Chorus
On the island of Catalina
I fell in love at a single glance
On the island of Catalina
A paradise for our romance
Where there’s music and moonlight to guide us
The peaceful Pacific beside us
On the island of Catalina
I fell in love with you
