Amapola (Jimmy Dorsey) Songtext
von Glenn Miller

(Albert Gamse, Jose Maria La Calle)

A boy found a dream upon a distant shore
A maid with a way of whispering "si senor."
Each night while guitars would softly play,
The tune seemed to dance ′round the words that he'd say:

Amapola, my pretty little poppy
You′re like that lovely flower so sweet and heavenly,
Since I found you, my heart is wrapped around you
And loving you, it seems to beat a rhapsody.


Amapola, the pretty little poppy
Must copy it's endearing charms from you.
Amapola, Amapola, how I long to hear you say "I love you."

Amapola, my pretty little poppy
You're like that lovely flower so sweet and heavenly,
Since I found you, my heart is wrapped around you
And loving you, it seems to beat a rhapsody.

Amapola, the pretty little poppy
Must copy it′s endearing charms from you.
Amapola, Amapola, how I long to hear you say "I love you."
