Liza Lyrics
(Verse)
Moon shining on the river
Come along, my Liza
Breeze singin' through the treetops
Come along, my Liza
Something mighty sweet I wanna whisper sweet and low
That you oughta know, my Liza
I get lonesome, honey, when I'm all alone so long
Don't make me wait
Don't hesitate
Come and hear my song
(Chorus)
Liza, Liza, skies are gray
But when you smile on me, all the clouds'll roll away
Liza, Liza, don't delay
Come keep me company, and the clouds'll roll away
See the honeymoon a-shining down
We should make a date with Parson Brown
So, Liza, Liza name the day
When you'll belong to me and the clouds'll roll away
(instrumental break)
See the honeymoon a-shining down
We should make a date with Parson Brown
Liza, Liza name the day
When you'll belong to me, all the clouds'll roll away
