A gentle breeze flows around the ship
One glass champagne and you take a sip
The stars so bright for you they shine
Will you be mine? Yes you are mine
And now the orchestra begins to play
And on the floor the dancers give us away
Plays a rhythm laying in the air
It's just for you that I care
I was 17 at the time
And he was a ship's officer
Now all the married went
Followed we couldn't go, ah
Anyway, we live to New Orleans
And our table there a saloon
As we got moved by the saxophone
We dance and dance and hold each other tight
Along the table on the other side
The greatest love and I, we dance
I pull it into your eyes, a glance
And every star that shines above, shines above
Is hearing my love
The orchestra will never stop to play
And our arms be swaying, sway away
And every star that shines above, shines above
Is hearing my love

He said he loved me and wanted to marry me
So, I ran away with him
We got to Orleans
And our table there a saloon

The greatest love and I, we dance
