Album: A Golden Celebration
Croce Di Oro (Cross Of Gold)
Patti Page
Written by James "Kim" Gannon
Peaked at # 16 in 1955
Features an arrangement similar to Les Paul & Mary Ford's smash 1953 hit "Vaya Con Dios"
You'll be gone when the dawn comes tomorrow
You'll be far, far away out at sea
So I give you this croce di oro
It will bring you home safely to me
Ev'ry hour we're apart will be sorrow
In the chapel a candle will burn
Take my love and this croce di oro
I will pray for you till you return
My darling, my darling, my darling
Do you see that star in the blue?
Each night I will give it a message
And the star will give it to you
Till we meet on that far-off tomorrow
May the Good Lord be with you and then
With the help of this croce di oro
You'll be back in my arms once again
With the help of this croce di oro
You'll be back in my arms once again (croce di oro)
