- Verse:
- Each night I sit beside
the campfire dreaming,
- In England's hills and dales
across the sea.
- And as I watch the embers
softly gleaming,
- I always picture in my memory:
-
- Chorus:
- Moonlight on the river Colorado,
- How I wish that I were there
with you.
- As I sit and pine, each
lonely shadow,
- Takes me back to days that
we once knew.
- We were to wed in harvest
time, you said,
- That's why I'm longing for
you.
- When it's moonlight on the
Colorado,
- I wonder if you're waiting
for me, too.
