Doris Day - Sleepy Lagoon Lyrics






A sleepy lagoon, a tropical moon and two on an island
A sleepy lagoon and two hearts in tune in some lullaby land
The fireflies' gleam reflects in the stream
They sparkle and shimmer
A star from on high falls out of the sky
And slowly grows dimmer
The leaves from the trees all dance in the breeze
And float on the ripples
We're deep in a spell as nightingales tell
Of roses and dew
The memory of this moment of love
Will haunt me forever
A tropical moon, a sleepy lagoon,
And you

The memory of this moment of love
Will haunt me forever
A sleepy lagoon, a tropical moon,
And you

La-da-da-da-da,
Ha-ah-ah-ah-ah,
A sleepy lagoon, and you.

    How wonderful! Doris Day paints a picture with how she phrases the words. The musical accompaniment blends beautifully with her singing to create a mood that transports you to this sleepy lagoon in your mind.

  8. A.... R....

    Sometimes words arnt enough to praise.. Doris you are!

  9. M.... ....

    Thank you Dayniac4323. Sometimes with the craziness this world has turned into, we forget about the times we had it all and didn't know it. No one brought that out more than Doris, a gorgeous woman with a gorgeous voice. Rest in peace Doris and never doubt the huge contribution you left for all of us. May God bless you always.

    M.... ....

    Rest in peace? Doris is alive and well at 96!

  10. �.... ....

    Feeling is more better one.

  11. *.... ....

    You can hear the love and feeling in her voice. I have connected all the Doris Day videos so that Doris will sing for me all day and night. I especially love the few where she is shown singing, live or in a movie.

  12. L.... G....

    I always thought of her as a singer first... She's a beautiful freakin' jazz singer!

  17. R.... F....

    Meravigliosa incantevole visione il sole cgìhe lentamente si esclissa all'orizzonre il luccichio del mare i suoi riflessi e la sua aria profumata il rumore delle onde che si infrangono contro gli scogli Il vento che si accorge di me e mi scompiglia i capelli Mi sento leggera e con la voglia di vivere

    Taiwanese current judiciary is very degraded and inferior to some other countries. Please click: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4kLxWP9hvc , and then it's not difficult to understand.

  19. m.... ....

    Her voice and diction was perfection

  20. l.... s....

    I was told that this nitingale died a pauper and lonely towards her end. Is it true?

    l.... s....

    Doris is still with us, and she's far from a pauper.

  21. F.... M....

    Wonderful voice dont make them like this anymore.

  22. E.... D....

    Doris Day became such a big movie star people tend to forget what a fine vocalist she was. But at the root of it, she knew her way around a song for sure.

  23. R.... F....

    stupenda interpretazione!

  24. R.... K....

    I am a great fan of Doris

  25. H.... A....

    Allow me to remind you that the music was composed by Eric Coates.

    H.... A....

    Related to the Coates who bought the White House Restaurant in Laguna Beach, CA? Paul Coates had been a successful songwriter.

    H.... A....

    As far as I know, ERIC Coates spent most of his life in the UK. Not sure what relation, if any, he is to Paul Coates.

  26. N.... g....

    A sleepy lagoon, a tropical moon and two on an island;
    A sleepy lagoon and two hearts in tune in some lullabyland.
    The fireflies’ gleam reflects in the stream
    They sparkle and shimmer.
    A star from on high falls out of the sky,
    And slowly grows dimmer.
    The leaves from the trees all dance in the breeze
    And float on the ripples;
    We’re deep in a spell as nightingales tell of roses and dew.
    The memory of this moment of love will haunt me forever
    A tropical moon, a sleepy lagoon and you.

  27. T.... ....

    So beautiful!

  28. M.... L....

    Wow, incredible pictures!  Makes me wish I were back in Tahiti, or a few other beautiful island resorts!  When I see these gorgeous pictures, it makes me think I didn't appreciate it enough when I was there!  Sleepy Lagoon has been a favorite song for a long time, no one can sing it better than this rendition by Doris Day -- Thank you for your post!

  29. M.... L....

    A beautiful song by a beautiful lady, accompanied by a wonderful video -- thank you!  I hope Doris (one of the best female singers in the world) is living out her last days (she's 92 now!) happy, healthy, and surrounded by animals who love her -- she's done so much for them, and for us!

  30. W.... W....

    This song was originally composed by British composer Eric Coates in the 1930s as a waltz-serenade for symphony orchestra. The lyrics were written a decade later and it subsequently became this wonderful popular song.

  31. M.... M....

    Boy oh boy, did she ever nail this one!

    How do you lose an entire recording session? Wasn't she still under contract with Columbia? Did they not want to release this album? Anyone know the story? I thought I knew pretty much everything about Doris and I've been a fan since I was a teenager in the late '70s. This one slipped me by though.

    M.... M....

    Doris' contract with Columbia ended in 1966. Her last Columbia recordings were the single ''Caprice'' b/w ''Sorry.'' She made ''The Love Album'' on her own so she could have complete creative control, but Marty died immediately after the recording was completed, her finances got turned upside down, and she entered years of litigation over it. As well, she immediately  had to begin a TV series she did not want to do, and didn't even know she had been contractually obligated to do by Marty. It was a highly confusing time. Then, too, ''The Love Album'' was not recorded for any record company who could have undertaken promotion and distribution on her behalf. In addition, Terry who took over management of her affairs, was completely caught up in the litigation against her lawyer for all those years. It does seem strange that she could lose the entire album, but under the circumstances it does seem possible.

  32. L.... R....

    I love this song very very much !

  33. s.... ....

    This is by far one of the best vocal rendition of this lovely tune.... So soothing and enchanting.

    s.... ....

    agree, far better than Tony William"s rendition

  34. B.... M....

    The song in Paradise!

  35. c.... s....

    i like this muisc

    A sleepy lagoon, a tropical moon and two on an island;
    A sleepy lagoon and two hearts in tune in some lullabyland.
    The fireflies’ gleam reflects in the stream
    They sparkle and shimmer.
    A star from on high falls out of the sky,
    And slowly grows dimmer.
    The leaves from the trees all dance in the breeze
    And float on the ripples;
    We’re deep in a spell as nightingales tell of roses and dew.
    The memory of this moment of love will haunt me forever
    A tropical moon, a sleepy lagoon and you.

  39. R.... C....

    LUSH. Exquisite pace for all those lovely strings

  40. R.... D....

    love this song  thanks for sharing

  41. i.... ....

    great song for dancing after dark as they used to day .Doris has the golden voice that will ever fascinate music lovers. 

  42. J.... M....

    Those dreamy days reminds me of  Mama.

  43. r.... g....

    Toni please forgive my mistakes...you know it's the speed to blame on ha ha!!!
    another hug Regina.

  44. r.... g....

    Hi Toni: I wish you read what Doris wrote in her page DORIS DAY TODAY in FB. It's a pity it lasted so Little., but it was an enriching experience as I wrote to her when she said goodbey because she was told to stop it for her own good. Really they were few day that I will cherish the rest of my life. She showed magnificent pics. One in her bedroom is now in my screen saber of my Smart pone. A hug Regina.

  45. D.... ....

    I really love this song from her Love Album. And another good one from the album is Snuggled On Your Shoulder. She does have such an intimate style ! So happy you enjoyed !!

  46. D.... ....

    I think you're so right !! She does make people happy ... one of the things I love about her !

  47. r.... r....

    what a beautiful song by doris day, what a sexy voice

    r.... r....

    There's nothing really quite like her pure, sweet, so on-pitch voice, and sexy -- well, that too!  And she's such a beautiful person too!

  48. D.... ....

    This was recorded June 6, 1967. But.. the recordings were "lost" - found by Doris' son, Terry, in her garage !! They released the Love Album in 1993.
    Thank you Terry !!
    Happy you enjoyed !!

    D.... ....

    I'm so happy they found the songs -- it would have been a tragedy to have lost these beautiful numbers!

  49. P.... K....

    I like her very much. She always makes people happy.

  50. D.... ....

    There are quite a few Doris Day video's that I can't view on my iphone any longer. I think it has something to do with copyright issues. I used to be able to go in and allow them to be viewable but I don't have that option any longer.

  51. J.... R....

    Why can I not get this particular song on my iPad anymore? Also some others,likewise. If they are for sale, where and how I do I get them? I am a shutin and it gives me so much pleasure. to listen to the songs of years ago. Cannot handle todays so called music.
    Can anyone tell me what is going on?

  52. D.... ....

    I feel the same way ... too bad she didn't record more after this. There are a few songs that were recently released that she did for her pet tv show in the 1980s. But no more concept albums after this one. I think she sounds wonderful on these songs. So happy you enjoyed !!

  53. v.... m....

    When i first heard a Sleepy Lagoon, i was four times in a row...so dreamy, a silvering recording from M. Day. It is a waste she didn´t want to perform anymore in recordings or movies. I miss her!

  54. D.... ....

    Thank you so much ... i'm really happy you enjoyed. Its a beautiful album. The last album she recorded .. rather sad .. she still sounded great. She had another cd released in 2011 with a combination of some previously unreleased songs and a few of her favorites. But this was the last actual album she recorded. I really enjoy the songs she chose and the beautiful recordings. Thanks again for putting this on your page !!
    Take care... Toni

  55. O.... ....

    Good Night Moon~~
    Good Night You~~
    Sweet Dreams~~

  56. D.... ....

    Yes... her voice can certainly send you to that romantic sleepy lagoon. She really has that intimate, sensual, magical quality that speaks just to you. I find it amazing that these songs were almost lost to us. If her son hadn't found them in her garage and released them 26 years after they were recorded, we would never have heard these beautiful songs.

  57. L.... ....

    Wonderful. Her singing and enunciation of each verse is superb.

  58. I.... B....

    Vackra bilder och en vacker sång av Doris Day

  59. D.... ....

    Thank you for your kind comment ! I really love this song from Doris...so romantic !
    I'm reallly happy you enjoyed the video !! Thanks again !

  60. s.... ....

    I've been moved every time I view this MV. This is excellent, you did a great job! Thanks so much for sharing.

  61. D.... ....

    It is a great album. I like this and Faded Summer Love the best. Thank goodness Terry found these recordings in her garage ! Can you imagine them being lost ?!!?

  62. W.... B....

    The whole album is magical but this for me is the highlight. She is a peerless vocal artist.

  63. D.... ....

    @44032 She certainly is wonderful at interpreting a song .... singing it just to you.
    I can't agree with the acting description but then I'm a big fan ! Thanks for listening ... I'm happy you enjoyed !

  64. D.... ....

    @anialek36 It is a beautiful song from Doris .... :-)

  65. S.... C....

    I find her a rather dull actreess but an unequalled singer. She does more acting when tshe sings than she ever did while acting.

  66. p.... ....

    ทะเลสาบที่เงียบสงบ (เหมื่อนความรักที่เงียบเฉย)

  67. D.... ....

    @dayfan1962 It is really amazing ... she really knows how to get to the heart of a song and lay it all out there. Isn't it unbelievable that this was her last album ? Thank goodness she did this on her own after her Columbia contract ended... and thank goodnes Terry found it in her garage !! Unbelievable ! It is truely a wonderful album. I wish they would have let Doris do it "her way" more than she was allowed to ! My other favorite is Faded Summer Love. Thank you !!

  68. S.... B....

    The talent of this lovely lady just mutes me; there simply are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe accurately what a phenomena she and her voice are.......this track is audible proof of what perfection she exuded . Her voice at her very last recording session was just as stimulating, haunting, and sensuous as her very first. Indescribably awesome!! Thank you Toni.

  69. D.... ....

    @kumhuiguitargirl This is definitely a dreamy romantic song from Doris. So sad this was her last album.....she really sounded marvelous on it. So happy you enjoyed !

  70. D.... ....

    @Keesfarida Those are two great songs ...happy you enjoyed her beautiful music !

  71. S.... I....

  75. D.... ....

    Thank you .... as you can tell I think she's amazing. Gee - John Gary - I hadn't thought about him for a long long time. I'm going to have to look at some of his songs. Thanks... really happy you enjoyed !

  76. D.... ....

    It's hard to believe this was her last album. I love every song on it. She did it herself - after she decided to not re-sign her Columbia contract. Wish she would have done more !! Thanks !

  77. M.... ....

    Here's another one I haven't heard - and I'm in love with it - her voice is so soothing and gentle.

  86. b.... ....

    What a beautifully constructed video, perfectly complemented by some of the most hypnotically exquisite music of all time.

  87. o.... ....

    perfect 10 ********

  88. m.... ....

    They have a saying in Queensland which is, "Beautiful one day, perfect the next," and in winter it's fantastic up there, but in summer - look out! - it gets seriously hot. Beach goers complain the sand gets "too hot" to lie on. But to give you an idea, on Wikipedia type in 'Whitsunday Islands' and you'll be surprised. But no, I live in Sydney, well away from paradises such as 'Sleepy Lagoon'. Have a great week Toni.

  89. m.... ....

    Great Doris Day song, one I had not heard before. The photos chosen for your video are wonderful.
