Avalon

Sarah Vaughan

Every morning memories stray 
Across the sea where flying fishes play 
And as the night is falling 
I find that I'm recalling 
That blissful all enthralling day 

Just before I sailed away 
She said the word I longed to hear her say
I tenderly caressed her 
Close to my heart I pressed her 
Upon that golden yesterday 

I found my love in Avalon 
Beside the bay 
I left my love in Avalon and sailed away 
I dream of her and Avalon 
From dusk till dawn 
And so I think I'll travel on 
To Avalon
