Story Behind The Song
I came into a curtain mood remembering the dreams I had, sometimes among friends when I was a young boy in the small town I grew up in. One of the dreams was to sail away, which in fact many youngsters did in that town.
Song Description
A song about past memories. About childhood. A song about young dreams, the wish to sail away, experience something new, something promising at the other side of the sea. Dreams, hopes, and expectations.

Lyrics
Bon Voyage
(Terry Young)
1.
On the seven seas l`m thriving, l`m shining
we used to hang around the port you and l
When we dreamed our dreams together, forever
l never thought it could come to an end, like loosing a friend
will l ever experience that again
Bridge:
l don?t feel it did me any good
were illusions and hopes all l understood?
Chorus:
Bon voyage, bon voyage
so many dreams have passed
Bon voyage, bon voyage
wondering where you are tonight
2.
When the ships cast off for unknown waters
and distant shores
l was left behind, but not you of course
In that moment, like in a vision l could see
What really is the difference between you and me
We considered the world in different ways
We act differently
Bridge:
l don?t think it did me no good
Were falls illusions and hopes all l understood
Chorus:
Bon voyage, bon voyage?.etc
