[Written by James "Kim" Gannon]
You'll be gone when the dawn comes tomorrow
You'll be far, far away out at sea
So I give you this *croce di oro*
It will bring you home safely to me
Ev'ry hour we're apart will be sorrow
In the chapel a candle will burn
Take my love and this *croce di oro*
I will pray for you 'til you return
My darling, my darling, my darling
Do you see that star in the blue
Each night I will give it a message
And the star will give it to you
'Til we meet on that far-off tomorrow
May the Good Lord be with you and then
With the help of this croce di oro
You'll be back in my arms once again
With the help of this croce di oro
You'll be back in my arms once again (croce di oro)

Well, buzz, buzz, buzz goes the bumble bee
Tweele, deedle, dee goes the bird
But the sound of your little voice, darling
Is the sweetest sound I've ever heard
I've seen the beauty of the red, red rose
Seen the beauty when the sky is blue
Seen the beauty of the evening sunset
But the beauty of you
Sweet as the honey from the honeycomb
Sweet are the grapes from the vine
But there's nothing as sweet as you, darling
And I hope someday you'll be mine
