Lyrics

[Verse] Ev'ry morning mem'ries stray
Across the sea where flying fishes play
And as the night is falling I find that I'm recalling
That blissful all enthralling day

[Chorus, repeat 2x] I found my love in Avalon
Beside the bay I left my love in
Avalon and sail'd away
I dream of her and Avalon
From dusk till dawn
And so I think I'll travel on
To Avalon

[Verse Two] Just before I sail'd away
She said the word I long'd to hear her say
I tenderly caress'd her
Close to my heart I press'd her
Upon that golden yesterday

[Chorus]
