WRITE TO ME FROM NAPLES
(Jimmy Kennedy / Alex Alstone)

Dean Martin - 1957
Elvis Presley (Home Recording) - 1966



(I can hear a mandolino)

Write to me from Naples,
Write me ev'ry day.
I love you and Naples,
More than words can say.

Call me "Cara mia",
Tell me all that's new.
Write to me from Naples,
Keep my heart with you.

(I can hear a mandolino;
Softly it sighs
While I raise a glass of vino,
Praising your eyes.)

Since we said "Arrivederci",
My poor heart cries
For a letter from you.

Write to me from Naples,
(Instrumental with mandolin)
I love you and Naples,
(Instrumental with mandolin)

Call me "Cara mia",
tell me all that's new.
Write to me from Naples,
Keep my heart with you.

Keep my heart with you.
