Lyrics

Ramona, I hear the mission bells above
Ramona , they’re ringing out our song of love
I press you, caress you
And bless the day you taught me to care
I’ll always remember
The rambling rose you wear in your hair

Ramona, when the day is done you’ll hear me call
Ramona, we’ll meet beside the waterfall
I dread the dawn
When I awake to find you gone
Ramona, I need you, my own
