There's a land far off, 
That's called quaint old Japan, 
There where romance grew, 
Since this old world began
Land of cherry trees and wondrous skies of

Soft shadows play, 
Flowers sway, 
Neath the Japanese Moon,
There in its light, 
Evry night,
Little Japanese croon, 
Drifting in its silvr'y gleam 
Dreaming love's sweet golden dream, 
With cherry blossoms lending enchantment;
Love tales are told as of old, 
All the world is in tune,
And through it all, 
Night birds call, 
Out across the la goon,
Two almond eyes with a Japanese fan,
Win the love of a Japanese man 
Two hearts are one, 
Underneath the Japanese Moon.


In my  heart I yearn to be where I can see, 
Lanterns softly glow upon each cherry tree, 
How I long to be where blossoms ev'rywhere
With their perfumes rare 
So sweetly fill the air..

Soft shadows play ...
