Lyrics
There?s a longing in my heart
To see you in the morning
There?s a longing in my heart
To rest my face against your check
But I guess I?ll have to wait
Until that last great dawning
When I take that mighty boat across the sea
Sail away, I can almost see you smiling
Sail away, I can almost hear you breathe
Sail away, I will reach out for your hand
When I take that mighty boat across the sea
I?m staring at the phone
Wishing I could call you
Like I?ve done so many mornings
In the years you?ve been with me
But the phone would go unanswered
And I would be left hanging
Til I take the mighty boat across the sea
Chorus:
