Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A sailboat in the moonlight and you
Wouldn't that be heaven
A heaven just for two
[Verse 2]
A soft breeze on a June night and you
What a perfect setting
For letting dreams come true
[Verse 3]
A chance to sail away
To sweetheart bay, beneath the stars that shine
A chance to drift, for you to lift
Your tender lips to mine
[Verse 4]
Some things, dear, that I long for are few
Just give me a sailboat in the moonlight and you
[Verse 5]
A chance to sail away
To sweetheart bay, beneath the stars that shine
A chance to drift, for you to lift
Your tender lips to mine
[Verse 6]
Some things, dear, that I long for are few
Just give me a sailboat in the moonlight and you
Written by: Carmen Lombardo, John Jacob Loeb
