Maybe this has been brought up in another post, but here are the actual lyrics to "Quiet Village." I did not make these up, nor did Les Baxter or even Martin Denny. They were written by someone named Mel Leven. I found this in one of my girlfriend's ukulele song books:

"Alone, in my quiet village I pray
You will be returning one day
To me
Return to me.

"Alone, living with the mem'ry of you,
Promising you'd always be true,
To me
Return to me

"Above me, there's a moon on fire,
Telling you to love me, as I desire,
And ever the flame, in my quiet village will burn,
Darling 'til the day you return,
To me
Return to me
Return to me."
