Again
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
