When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano (Birds of a Feather) - Carmen McRae

When the swallows

Come back to Capistrano

That’s the day

You promised to come back to me When you whispered

«Farewell» in Capistrano

Twas the day

The swallow flew out to the sea

All the mission bells will ring

The chapel choir will sing

The happiness you’ll bring

Will live in my memory

When the swallows

Come back to Capistrano

That’s the day

I pray that you’ll come back to me All the mission bells will ring

The chapel choir will sing

The happiness you’ll bring

Will live in my memory

When the swallows

Come back to Capistrano

That’s the day

I pray that you’ll come back to me
