  *++Lyrics:|\\
Open the portals of memory,\\
Let the old honeymoon glow;\\
Take me again to old Tripoli,\\
Bring back the sweet long ago.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
Floating on the bay at Tripoli,\\
Sweethearts, you and I.\\
Just a little paradise for two,\\
'Neath a starlit sky.\\
Vesper bells were aringing,\\
Choir voices were singing;\\
While the moon above just spoke of love,\\
On the shores of Tripoli. -li.\\
\\
Just like a beautiful melody,\\
Haunting me all the day through,\\
So I am haunted by Tripoli,\\
When I am dreaming of you.\\
\\
