Mandolins in the Moonlight

We're not in Venice,

in a gondola,

beneath the skies of blue,

and yet it seems we're there signorina

an' I'm close to you!

'Cause I hear mandolins in the moonlight,

mandolins in the moonlight!

See what magic you start?

A song of Italy sings

in perfect tune with the strings

of my heart!

We won't be tossin'

coins in the fountain

down in Rome tonight

and yet my dreams come true signorina

when you hold me tight!

'Cause I hear mandolins in the moonlight,

mandolins in the moonlight!

See what magic you start?

A song of Italy sings

in perfect tune with the strings

of my heart!

Now, here's the way

they whisper ''I love you''

down in Napoli

''ti voglio bene mia signorina''

and thata goes for me!

'Cause I hear mandolins in the moonlight,

mandolins in the moonlight!

See what magic you start?

A song of Italy sings

in perfect tune with the strings

of my heart!

Mandolins in the moonlight,

beautiful music of love!
