When the twilight is gone and no songbirds are singing. When the twilight is gone, you come into my heart. And here in my heart you will stay while I pray.
My prayer is to linger with you. At the end of the day. In a dream that's devine. My prayer is a rapture in blue. With a world far away. And your lips close to mine.
Istanbul was Constantinople. Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople. Been a long time gone, Constantinople. Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night.

I saw the harbor lights. They only told me we were parting. The same old harbor lights. That once brought you to me. . I watched the harbor lights. How could I help if tears were starting?.
Oh come back to me, oh come back to me,. Red sailors, red sailors, bring my love to me!. . 'Twas down where fisher-folk gather,. I wandered far from the throng,.
