VAYA CON DIOS – On the Rocks

VAYA CON DIOS 1952 |
NOW THE HACIENDA’S DARK,
THE TOWN IS SLEEPING.
NOW THE TIME HAS COME TO PART,
THE TIME FOR WEEPING.
VAYA CON DIOS, MY DARLING.
MAY GOD BE WITH YOU MY LOVE.
NOW THE VILLAGE MISSION BELLS
ARE SOFTLY RINGING.
IF YOU LISTEN WITH YOUR HEART,
YOU’LL HEAR THEM SINGING.
VAYA CON DIOS, MY DARLING.
MAY GOD BE WITH YOU MY LOVE.
WHEREVER YOU MAY BE
I’LL BE BESIDE YOU,
ALTHOUGH YOU’RE MANY
MILLION DREAMS AWAY.
EACH NIGHT I’LL SAY A PRAYER,
A PRAYER TO GUIDE YOU.
TO HASTEN EVERY LONELY HOUR
OF EVERY LONELY DAY.
NOW THE DAWN IS BREAKING THROUGH
THE GRAY TOMORROW.
BUT THE MEMORIES WE SHARE
ARE THERE TO BORROW.
VAYA CON DIOS, MY DARLING.
MAY GOD BE WITH YOU MY LOVE.

Vaya Con Dios: Les Paul and Mary Ford.
