When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano (1940)

Composer: Leon René
Glenn Miller and His Orchestra
Ray Eberle, vocal

When the swallows come back to Capistrano
That's the day you promised to come back to me
When you whispered, "Farewell" in Capistrano
T'was the day the swallows 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
