Lyrics

Lover, one lovely day
Love came planning to stay
Green Dolphin Street supplied the setting
The setting for nights beyond forgetting

Lover, one lovely day
A love came planning to stay
Green Dolphin Street supplied the setting
The setting for nights beyond forgetting

Through these moments apart
Love come here in my heart
When I recall the love I found on
I could kiss the ground on Green Dolphin Street

And through these moments apart
Love come here in my heart
When I recall the love I found on
I’m gonna kiss the ground I found on Green Dolphin Street
