Lyrics

  1. I sat by the seaside alone today
    And dreamily gazed o’er the deep blue bay
    When I saw a-float a wonderful boat
    With sails that were shining so bright and gay
    I saw just one aboard
    But that was my adored

Chorus
Sail on! O ship of my Dreams! Sail on!
Sail on! O ship of my Dreams! Sail on!
I have a sweetheart across the sea
And I am as lonely as I can be
Oh! bring back my bonnie again to me
Sail on! O ship of my Dreams!

  1. The breezes were blowing from o’er the sea
    Were urging my boat to come on to me
    But it seemed to stay far out in the bay
    A phantom from dreamland it proved to be
    But I could see so clear
    The face I hold so dear

Chorus
Sail on! O ship of my Dreams! Sail on!
Sail on! O ship of my Dreams! Sail on!
I have a sweetheart across the sea
And I am as lonely as I can be
Oh! bring back my bonnie again to me
Sail on! O ship of my Dreams! Sail on!
