Accompaniment by Fred Feild:
Lyrics
Stars were shining brightly over the Rhineland
The night that I met you and said goodbye
Memory takes me nightly back to the Rhineland
To hours of gladness that ended in sadness
Chorus
We sang our song of love
Beneath the stars above
To the rhythm of the river Rhine
In tulip time
I saw two bright eyes shine
And pressed two lips to mine
To the rhythm of the river Rhine
In tulip time
I held you close, close to my breast
How we caressed until the dawn
I heard you say, “I’ll be so blue
Thinking of you when you’re gone”
We kissed and said goodbye
Then sang the Lorelei
To the rhythm of the river Rhine
In tulip time
