(Mark McGuinn/Jim Foster)
I`ve been staring out the window all day
I keep seeing your ship sail away
I just read your letter last night
Now you`re so far out of sight
I held a treasure in my hand
I lost it like a shell in the sand
You`re out there in deep blue
My heart`s there with you
There is an island
Two lovers aim for
Sailin` together
To reach that shore
You only get so many chances
You can`t afford to miss the boat
Or your heart will go sinkin`
`Cause love don`t float
I`ll be waitin` til you throw me a line
Honey I`ll know what to do this time
I`m never gonna give up hope
I wait for the boat
There is an island
Two lovers aim for
Sailin` together
To reach that shore
You only get so many chances
You can`t afford to miss the boat
Or your heart will go sinkin`
`Cause love don`t float
Sinkin` and sinkin` and sinkin` and sinkin`
Love don`t float
