CROCE DI ORO (CROSS OF GOLD)
(Kim Gannon)

as recorded by Patti Page
1958


You'll be gone when the dawn comes tomorrow,
You'll be far far away out at sea,
So I give you this croce di oro;
It will bring you home safely to me!

Ev'ry hour we're apart will be sorrow,
In the chapel a candle will burn.
Take my love and this croce di oro;
I will pray for you till you return.

My darling, my darling, my darling,
Do you see that star in the blue?
Each night I will give it a message,
And the star will give it to you!

Till we meet on that far off tomorrow,
May the Good Lord be with you, and then,
With the help of this croce di oro,
You'll be back in my arms once again!

With the help of this croce di oro,
You'll be back in my arms once again!  (croce di oro)
