ON A LITTLE BALCONY IN SPAIN
Ray Doll / Saul Klein / Jack Le Soir  1930

as rec by Georges Metaxa w Ray Noble & his New Mayfair Orch  March 1931 London


Blue, blue was the night, the night that we met,
Mellow guitars were echoing songs of love.
Blue, blue is my heart, how can I forget
Moments of love we spent 'neath the stars above?

Give me the moon
And an old Spanish tune,
Let me linger again


I hadn't the right,
But the spell of the night
Made me kiss her again,
When love came to me on a little balcony in Spain.
 
At dawn
I found she had gone;
I didn't take long to discover
She had somebody else for her lover!

I lost my chance,
That's the way of romance,
Now I linger in vain
Where love came to me on a little balcony in Spain.

When love came to me on a little balcony in Spain.

When love came to me on a little balcony in Spain.

At dawn
I found she had gone;
I didn't take long to discover
She had somebody else for her lover!


I lost my chance,
That's the way of romance,
Now I linger in vain
Where love came to me on a little balcony in Spain.
