While in that gay tropic isle
I first saw that maiden smile
Though I had failed in the past
I said "this is true love at last"
But then she whispered to me
That our love never could be
[Chorus]
Destiny, oh when will I see the day?
Hopelessly, I've wandered so long this way
"This could never be" she said pleadingly
"Don't ever love me, I'm just fancy-free"
"This could never be" she said pleadingly
"Don't ever love me"
[Verse 2]
My love was motion and grace
The moonlight soft on her face
I held her close in my arms
My heart was quick to her charms
But then I saw in her glance
It was just an evening's romance
[Chorus]
Destiny, oh when will I see the day?
Hopelessly, I've wandered so long this way
"This could never be" she said pleadingly
"Don't ever love me, I'm just fancy-free"
"This could never be" she said pleadingly
"Don't ever love me"
"This could never be" she said pleadingly
"Don't ever love me"
[Verse 1] While in that gay tropic isle I first saw that maiden smile Though I had failed in the past I said "this is true love at last" But then she whispered to me That our love never could be [Chorus] Destiny, oh when will I see the day? Hopelessly, I've wandered so long this way "This could never be" she said pleadingly "Don't ever love me, I'm just fancy-free" "This could never be" she said pleadingly "Don't ever love me" [Verse 2] My love was motion and grace The moonlight soft on her face I held her close in my arms My heart was quick to her charms But then I saw in her glance It was just an evening's romance [Chorus] Destiny, oh when will I see the day?
