Part 1

Sail o -ver the waves,

While the breez -es are rip -pling the sea,

One fa -vor love craves,

Just a kiss would be heav -en for me,

Day dies in the west,

And the wa -ters are tremb -ling with light,

Lean clos -er and rest,

Let me kiss you, my dear one good -night.

 

Part 2

In the mur -mur -ing song of the sea,

Lies the mean -ing of love's mys -ter -y.

In the mag -i -cal 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 clus -ter -ing hair,

And I dream of love ten -der and true,

Sail -ing o -ver the waves with you.

 

Part 3

Tell me love's stor -y

At morn, or at noon,

When sun -sets glor -y

Makes way for the moon.

And when the bright stars

Shine down from a -bove,

Whis -per it gent -ly,

Your stor -y of love.

 

(Repeat Part 1)
