My ship has sails, that're made of silk The decks are trimmed with gold And of jam and spice There's a paradise in the hold ♪ My ship's aglow, with a million pearls And rubies fill each bin The sun sits high, in a sapphire sky When my ship comes in I can wait the years, 'til it appears One fine day one spring But the pearls and such No, they won't mean much If there's missing just one thing I do not care if that day arrives That dream need never, never be If the ship I sing doesn't also bring My own true love to me If the ship I sing doesn't also bring My own true love to me
