Sleepy Lagoon - Los Plateros

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
