Lyrics
Smiles say yes
Hearts say go
Water flows
To the seashore
Paper boats
In the stream
We?re children playing
Out our dreams
Grownups wishing
To be children again
Their milk and honey
Give us young ones strength
We?ll have our share one day
Of struggle and strife
But now we?re eating
The sweet fruits of life
Smiles say yes
Hearts say go
Water flows
To the seashore
Paper boats
In the stream
We?re children playing
Out our dreams
Another sunny island day
No thought about some other way
The fishing boats with colors bright
A treasure trove of earth?s delights
Smiles say yes
Hearts say go
Water flows
To the seashore
Paper boats
In the stream
We?re children playing
Out our dreams
The juke box?s playing
At the liquor store
Calypso singer
Makes us laugh for more
Sings of life
And affairs of state
We like the music
And drama he creates
Smiles say yes
Hearts say go
Water flows
To the seashore
Paper boats
In the stream
We?re children playing
Out our dreams
Another sunny island day
No thought about some other way
The fishing boats with colors bright
A treasure trove of earth?s delights
Smiles say yes
Hearts say go
Water flows
To the seashore
Paper boats
In the stream
We?re children playing
Out our dreams
