Amapola

A boy found a dream upon a distant shore

A maid with a way of whisp'ring "si senor."

Each night while guitars would softly play,

The tune seemed to dance 'round the words that he'd say:



Amapola, my pretty little poppy

You're like that lovely flow'r so sweet and heavenly,

Since I found you, my heart is wrapped around you

And loving you, it seems to beat a Rhapsody.



Amapola, the pretty little poppy

Must copy it's endearing charm from you.

Amapola, Amapola, how I long to hear you say "I love you."



The boy left his love upon a distant shore

And sailed from the one his arms were longing for.

He vowed he'd return one sunny day,

Once more to repeat what his heart had to say
