Lyrics

  1. Where are we drifting, you and I?
    Drifting today ‘neath a sunny sky?
    When life is young, and love is new,
    And nothing else matters to me but you.

Refrain:
Drifting, drifting, down life’s stream,
Red lips smile while bright eyes beam.
I don’t care where I drift to,
If I’m only drifting with you.
Drifting, drifting, down life’s stream
Red lips smile while bright eyes beam.
I don’t care where I drift to,
If I’m only drifting with you.

  1. Dear, do not care ‘tho shadows fall;
    Love is our pilot, and love is all:
    Still in the dark my voice you’ll hear
    And then dearly whisp’ring I love you dear
