CLEO
(Lee S. Roberts / J. Will Callahan,   1919)


Pale moonlight! 
A wondrous night! 
My fancy takes its flight to Rainbow Isle; 
Swaying trees a truant breeze 
All bring you to me just for a while.

Some June night love's magic light 
May guide your boat a right to Rainbow Isle; 
O'er the sea of memory 
Some time, in the golden 
After while.

Cleo, I see only you, 
And the dream makes me lonesome and blue, 
Brings back that moment divine 
When I fancied your heart answered mine; 
Cleo, 'twill be only you 
And I'd give all this world if you knew, 
Just how I'm yearning, and wait for your returning 
Come back to me,
My Cleo, do!
