Planning to go back again to the places I once knew Hoping that my heart don’t break thinking about you A young sailor who long ago his die was cast Now dreams of cherished days long past Just to gaze into your eyes once more To walk hand in hand along the shore To hold you close, kiss your lips and then Sail under the Southern Cross again The pounding surf plays the same old tune That it did before beneath the Caribbean moon I know now what I didn’t know then That I’ll never hold you in my arms again Days and weeks have turned into years Thousands of miles and a million tears I love you now as I loved you then I know I’ll never see your face again My life will never be the same In my dreams I still call your name Again tonight in my sleep I’ll cry Again tonight I’ll hear you say good bye Again I’ll remember that sun drenched bay Again I’ll see your tears as I sailed away
