Lyrics

[Verse 1]

My boat sails stormy seas

Battles oceans filled with tears

At last my port's in view

Now that I've discovered you

[Verse 2]

Oh, I'd give my life so lightly

For my gentle lady

Give it freely and completely

To my lady

[Verse 3]

As life goes drifting by

Like a breeze she'll gently sigh

And slowly bow her head

Then you'll hear her softly cry

[Verse 4]

Oh, I'd give my life so lightly

To my gentle lady

Give it freely and completely

To my lady

[Verse 5]

Words that you say when we're alone

Though actions speak louder than words

But all I can say is I love you so

To drive away all my hurt

[Verse 6]

Oh, I'd give my life so lightly

For my gentle lady

Give it freely and completely

To my lady

[Verse 7]

Set sail before the sun

Feel the warmth that's just begun

Share each and every dream

They belong to everyone

[Verse 8]

Oh, I'd give my life so lightly

For my gentle lady

Give it freely and completely

To my lady
