Lyrics
Chorus:
When you’re near the birds sing in the trees
Pretty harmonies
All the world is humming a melody
When away from you I may be straying
Then my heart keeps saying
You’re the heart of me
Part of me, all of me
Nola, heed and listen while I plead
You’re the one I need
Life for me is nothing but misery
Nola, Nola, hear your lonesome
Lovesick sweetheart calling Nola
Simplified melody:
Nola, Nola, my own sweet Nola
You are the girl for me
In dreams it seems you’re always haunting
You’re always taunting me
Performance
