- _______
-
- Part 1
- Sail over the waves,
- While the breezes are rippling
the sea,
- One favor love craves,
- Just a kiss would be heaven
for me,
- Day dies in the west,
- And the waters are trembling
with light,
- Lean closer and rest,
- Let me kiss you, my dear
one goodnight.
-
- Part 2
- In the murmuring song of
the sea,
- Lies the meaning of love's
mystery.
- In the magical kiss of the
spray,
- You will know what my lips
dare not say.
- All my heart you have caught
in the snare
- Of your eyes and your clustering
hair,
- And I dream of love tender
and true,
- Sailing over the waves with
you.
-
- Part 3
- Tell me love's story
- At morn, or at noon,
- When sunsets glory
- Makes way for the moon.
- And when the bright stars
- Shine down from above,
- Whisper it gently,
- Your story of love.
