Verse:
I lie down to sleep,
Upon an empty beach,
The wind blows through the palms, soft and warm.
The stars fill the sky.
Then one goes shooting by,
And the moonrises up, from the sea.
In a cafe nearby,
A band plays a lullaby.
Two lovers holding hands by the sea.
I watch them for awhile, then I begin to smile.
I pull my hat down as I close my eyes, and the band sings.
Chorus:
Li Li Li Li Li Li... Li Li Li Li Li Li...
Li Li Li cast your dreams upon the sea... and they will
Li Li Li Li Li Li... Li Li Li Li Li Li...
Li Li Li Li will bring, you back to me.
Verse:
Many a day has past,
When I finally thought at last,
For some rhyme or reason why, I just don't know.
If only for the night,
I again could hold you tight.
I pull my hat down as I close my eyes, and the band sings
(Chorus)
