Platters, The - Sleepy Lagoon Lyrics






A sleepy lagoon
A tropical moon and two on an island
A sleepy lagoon
And two hearts in tune
In some lullaby land
The fireflies gleam
Reflect in the stream
They sparkle and shimmer
A star from on high
Falls out of the sky
And slowly grows dimmer

The leaves from the trees
All dance in the breeze
And float on the ripples
I'm lost in the spell
That nightingales tell of roses and dew
The memory of this moment of love
Will haunt me forever
A tropical moon
A sleepy lagoon, and you

Stand still
Oh heaven and earth and river
Stand still
Oh time in your endless flight
If love can but command
The moon will stand
The sun won't wake
The day won't break and it will always be tonight

The leaves from the trees
All dance in the breeze
And float on the ripples
I'm lost in the spell
That nightingales tell of roses and dew
The memory of this moment of love
Will haunt me forever
A tropical moon
A sleepy lagoon
And you

    Yes romance. Its seems to be forgotten today. Its just a big rush to get in bed, without the wonderful steps along the way. Its now just bang, slam, thank you mam. I guess romance died with today's generation.

    d.... o....

    Thank the God awful 60s for this.

    Every time I hear this song, I am transported back to my honeymoon, and the love I knew for so many years!

  13. A.... T....

    This idiot song has bounced around in my head since 1942. A good example of tawdry American popular culture.

    A.... T....

    BRITISH ACTUALLY, . LISTEN TO THE, ORIGINAL, ORCHESTRAL VERSION, STILL PLAYED AS THE INTRO TO THE ORIGINAL RADIO PROGRAMME ,SINCE 1942--I GUESS THAT FOR
    MANY, IT KINDA DOES HAVE SOME MEANING--- WE PITY YOU.

    Taiwanese current judiciary is very degraded and inferior to some other countries. Please click: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4kLxWP9hvc , and then it's not difficult to understand.

    幽靜的礁湖
    熱帶的明月 一對初戀人
    幽靜的礁湖
    只有我和你 相戀的情意
    螢兒火光亮 反映在水上 燦爛發閃光
    樹上的落葉 乘風飛起舞 逐波水面流
    我們正沈迷
    夜鶑提醒我 思念我的你
    我倆永記起
    過去的這時 相戀的情意
    幽靜的礁湖
    熱帶的明月 一對初戀人
    流水正飄飄 月光在你臉上照

    grazie per averla inserita.e the three bells ?

    This song was originally composed by British composer Eric Coates in the 1930s as a waltz-serenade for symphony orchestra. The lyrics were written a decade later and it subsequently became this wonderful popular song.

    W.... W....

    WELL SAID

    W.... W....

    Thanks Wayne Great Info, Thanks for sharing etc.

    W.... W....

    Legend has it that Eroc Coates got his inspiration while sitting on the shore at Selsey in West Sussex, looking across to Bognor. I was born in nearby Chichester and visited these places often, so I can absolutely relate to this.

  24. T.... R....

    Does anyone remember this came from the movie Road to Morocco & was sung by Bob Hope?

    T.... R....

    NOPE ! BUT THE REALITY IS, IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE UK IN THE 1920'S, BY ERIC COATES, HAD LYRICS ADDED BY AN AMERICAN 10 YEARS After, and became a number one hit for Harry James orchestra in 1943, and many other artists since.

  25. I.... W....

    I have loved these guys since I was a little girl. I don*t remember this song but i think it is beautiful. As I play it over and over again. The best singing group ever.

    CIERRO LOS OJOS, ME CANTAS AL OIDO, ME ADORMECES CON UN SENTIMIENTO QUE JAMAS HABIA CONOCIDO. ME PREGUNTAS Y TE RESPONDO, TE AMO MAS ALLA DE TODA EXISTENCIA, EN DONDE TODO LO INEXPLICABLE SE CONVIERTE EN SUBLIME. ME HICISTE CONOCER EL AMOR, TU VOZ ES PURO SENTIMIENTO Y ES EL QUE ESTA DENTRO DE MI CORAZON...
