CAcross the bay a lady waits to G7hold me tight 
And my Cboat and I are ready to set G7sail
If the Cweather keeps on holding and the G7wind is right
I'll be Cwrapped up in my sweet one's arms G7tonight 
And we will Csail away on the wings of G7love into the night
CCast out our fortunes on the G7sea
Then we will Cgo to sleep together with the G7rocking of the water
And Cdream of how our life will someday G7be when she sails away with Cme
As I skip across the waves my sails are G7high and full 
My Cmind is on the one I wait to G7see
And I Cdream about an island somewhere G7in my mind 
Where Csomeday I will take her off G7with me 
And we will Csail away on the wings of G7love into the night 
CCast out our fortunes on the G7sea 
Then we will Cgo to sleep together with the G7rocking of the water 
And Cdream of how our life will someday G7be when she sails away with Cme
Then a smile comes upon me as I G7look across the bow 
CI see a lady on the G7side 
But Cshe will wait no more as I G7head for the shore
Cause Ctonight I'm gonna take her for G7a ride
And we will Csail away on the wings of G7love into the night
CCast out our fortunes on the G7sea
Then we will Cgo to sleep together with the G7rocking of the water 
And Cdream of how our life will someday G7be when she sails away with Cme
