Verse:
Dreams call to me,
Over a rose tinted sea.
I wait on the shore,
For the one I adore.
 
Chorus:
When My Dream Boat Comes Home,
Then my dreams no more will roam.
I will meet you and greet you,
Hold you closely "My own."
Moonlit waters will sing,
Of the tender love you bring.
We'll be sweethearts forever,
When My Dream Boat Comes Home.
