Open the portals of memory,<br />Let the old honeymoon glow;<br />Take me again to old Tripoli,<br />Bring back the sweet long ago.<br /><br />Floating on the bay at Tripoli,<br />Sweethearts, you and I.<br />Just a little paradise for two,<br />'Neath a starlit sky.<br /><br />Vesper bells were aringing,<br />Choir voices were singing;<br />While the moon above just spoke of love,<br />On the shores of Tripoli. -li.<br /><br />Just like a beautiful melody,<br />Haunting me all the day through,<br />So I am haunted by Tripoli,<br />When I am dreaming of you<br /><br />Tripoli (On The Shores Of Tripoli)<br /><br />Elizabeth Lennox as "Louise Terrell" & William Robyn<br /><br />Victor 18693<br /><br />1920<br /><br />Music by Irving Weill <br /><br />Lyrics by Al Dubin & Paul Cunningham<br /><br />_______________________<br /><br />Elizabeth Lennox was born on March 16, 1894, in Iona, Michigan.
