When the swallows
Come back to Capistrano
That's the day you promised
You'd come back to you
When you whisper
Farewell in Capistrano
Twas the day the
Swallows flew out to sea
All the mission bells will ring
The chapel choir will sing
The happiness you'll bring
Will live in my memory
When the swallows
Come back to Capistrano
That's the day I pray that
You'll come back to you
When the swallows
Come back to Capistrano
That's the day I pray that
You'll come back to me
