A Greek Love Song - composer unknown. Sung by the late Dorothy Fuller (Dimitropoulos) with singing teacher Maestro Manlio DiVeroli at the piano. Recorded in 1953 as a private recording and used here with permission from the family.

 Translation:
I search to find the sweet words
To tell you that I love you.
Those words that come from the depths of my heart
To caress you every night
So you can feel close always
As you travel foreign lands.
And so you'll hurry to return
To the warmth of  my embrace 

Audio Engineer: Dean Johnston
