When the Swallows Come Back To Capistrano 
Glenn Miller
Written by Leon René

As recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on June 13th 1940 with Ray Eberle. 
 
When the swallows come back to Capistrano 
That’s the day you promised to come back to me 
When you whispered, "Farewell" in Capistrano 
T'was the day the swallows flew out to the 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 me!
