Watch the sea so bright and lovely,

Waking depths of tender feeling,

Like to you of whom I'm thinking

Till I'm dreaming though awake

See the lovely dewy garden,

G7                        C
Breathing scent of orange blossoms;

C                         Dm7
Such a sweet and gracious perfume

G7                      C
That it enters in one's heart.

Come back to Sorrento,

That I may live.

What a treasure lies beneath them!
