Lilacs In The Rain

When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano - 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

That's the day I pray that you'll come back to me
