As the tambourine played

As the tambourine played,

We fell in love,

With her Ethereal beauty,

With her exotic dresses,

And eyes of splendor,

Beyond the blue,

As the tambourine played,

The mellow hope,

Of her love,

Dressed the moons,

Of our souls,

With kisses and stars,

As the tambourine played,

Her long deep hair,

Unwound like jazz,

As the tambourine played,

Even the seashells,

Were enthralled,

As her dress swayed,

With a sweet melody,

Of love,

As the tambourine played,

Even the stars were enthralled,

As her dress swayed,

With a unique melody,

Of our love,

And the honey waves,

Were as one dove
