I couldn't take my eyes off you
You went about the deck in silence
So quietly the white steamer
Set sail from that noisy pier
And so suddenly I was tossed about
She began to rock me to sleep
Even as her stern sailed away
From a happy port
Ah, fair steamer
The startling bass sound of her horn
The sound of seagulls astern
And the twinkling of her blue eyes
Ah, fair steamer
Upon that fleeing water
You are taking me away
Speak to me of where?
But the steamer sailed on
And the waves, they ran off astern
So the gentle sea breeze
Having its fun, played with you
So I couldn't take my eyes off you
I know not why
I am in this moment more than ever
I truly envied her!
Ah, fair steamer
The startling bass sound of her horn
The sound of seagulls astern
And the twinkling of her blue eyes
Ah, fair steamer
Upon that fleeing water
You are taking me away
Speak to me of where?
Ah, fair steamer
The startling bass sound of her horn
The sound of seagulls astern
And the twinkling of her blue eyes
Ah, fair steamer
Upon that fleeing water
You are taking me away
Speak to me of where?
Ah, fair steamer
The startling bass sound of her horn
The sound of seagulls astern
And the twinkling of her blue eyes
Ah, fair steamer
Upon that fleeing water
You are taking me away
Speak to me of where?
