Way Down On Tampa Bay
Composer(s): A. Seymour Brown; Egbert Van Alstyne



Twilight is falling, I'm so lonesome and blue
Twilight is calling back sweet mem'ries of you
And as the night breeze sighs in the palm trees 
Somehow it seems to say
My heart is yearning for your returning
Way down on Tampa Bay

Moonlight is slowly stealing over the sea
Moonlight just like the night you whispered to me
Then all my gladness turned into sadness 
After I heard you say
Though we must part dear, I leave me heart here
Way down on Tampa Bay

On Tampa Bay the moon beams play
When the harbor lights are gleaming I am dreaming of the day
You won my heart, dear, then sailed away
And you left me so lonely 
Way down on Tampa Bay
