[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]

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 'til dawn

And so I think I'll travel on

To Avalon

[Verse]

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]

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 'til dawn

And so I think I'll travel on

To Avalon
