Once I got a foolish notion to cross that big wide oceanThe future for me didn't look so brightSo I signed up with a tanker got on board and raised the anchorStood and watched the Golden Gate fade out of sightNineteen days and nights we traveled through the stormy seas we battledTill we land again Australia far awayFar from friends and San Francisco and the Miss I thought I miss soTill I stepped ashore of Melbourne that first dayBut I met Melba from Melbourne she made my heart yearnShe made my tears flow like wineShe let me kiss her then made me miss her cause Melba could never be mineSo in love but couldn't get her cared so much I couldn't forget herI fell in love just a little bit more and moreThere I was just like I started all alone and broken-heartedI recall the day I left Australian shoreI was standin' there and tryin' so hard to keep from cryin'And the more I tried the more my tears would showThen the south breeze seem to whisper hold her close and once more kiss herIt was hopeless so I turned away to goBut I left Melba from Melbourne she made my heart yearnShe made my tears roll like wineShe wouldn't leave there I couldn't stay thereSo Melba could never be mine (Melba could never be mine) From Letras Mania
