Sleepy Lagoon
Words & Music by Jack Lawrence & Eric CoatesRecorded by Harry James, 1940 (#1)
A7 Dalt A7 D6 G/B A7+5 D6 Em7 F#m7 Em7
A sleepy lagoon, a tropical moon and two on an island;
A7 Dalt A7 D6 G/B A7+5 B7 G/B D6
A sleepy lagoon and two hearts in tune in some lullabyland.
Em7 A7 G/B A7
The fireflies' gleam reflects in the stream --
Em7 A7 G/B A7
They sparkle and shimmer.
D D6 Cdim
A star from on high falls out of the sky,
Em7 A7 G/B A7
And slowly grows dimmer.
A7 Dalt A7 D6 G/B
The leaves from the trees all dance in the breeze
A7+5 D6 Em7 F#m7 Em7
And float on the ripples;
A7 Dalt A7 D6 G/B G6
We're deep in a spell as nightingales tell of roses and dew.
Gm7 Gdim D F#7 G Gm7
The memory of this moment of love will haunt me forever --
Gdim D Cdim A A7+5 D
A tropical moon, a sleepy lagoon and you.
