A BEAUTIFUL MELODY: JUNE ON THE ISLE OF MAY.

The Space Alien loves beautiful music and especially a song called June on the Isle of May.  The words are printed here and the tune is adapted from  Andante Cantabile second movement of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's String Quartet No. 1 in D major, Op. 11. It was popularized by singers like Connee Boswell and bandleaders like Tommy Dorsey.  Here are the lyrics so you can sing them too: 


We strolled along

Through the heavens

And it was June

June on the Isle of May


Your lips were sweet

As the heaven

Love was in bloom

There on the Isle of May


     Close in your arms

     Heaven opened its doors

     Then like a fool

     I sailed away


But our love

Will bring us together

When it is June

June on the Isle of May


     Close in your arms

     Heaven opened its doors

     Then like a fool

     I sailed away


But our love

Will bring us together

When it is June

June on the Isle of May
