Sail away sweet sister
sail across the sea
maybe you'll find somebody
to love you half as much as me
my heart is always with you
no matter what you do
sail away sweet sister
'cause I'll always be in love with you
Well, let her be somebody else's queen
I don't want to know about it
'cause there's too many others that know what I mean
and, that's why I got to live without it
I'm in love with the girl that I'm talking about
I'm in love with the girl I can't live without
I'm in love but I feel like I'm wearin' it out
I'm in love but I must have picked a bad time
to be in love
:: ---------- ::
She's got a smile that it seems to me
reminds me of childhood memories
where everything
was as fresh as the bright blue sky
now and then when I see her face
she takes me away to that special place
and if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Sweet child o' mine
sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
as if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
and see an ounce of pain
her hair reminds me
of a warm safe place
where as a child I'd hide
and pray for the thunder
and the rain
to quietly pass me by
Sweet child o' mine
sweet love of mine
Where do we go
where do we go now
where do we go
sweet child o' mine
