Sailin' in the moonlight (J. Veerman/J. Keizer/J. Tuijp) Children of the sea, we were so young and fancy free, Down the harbour lights, the place we longed to be, Seagulls spread their wings, still hear the waves come rolling in. Where the fishing boats were moored, day by day. All those memories pursued me on and on, So I'm bound to be, sailing the sea. Tonight we're sailin' in the moonlight, Along the shores of Aphrodite, a love, A rendez vous, in shades of blue. Tonight the silence of the ocean, A sound of love's emotion, the witness of delight. Dreaming on the shore, about a mermaid I adore, With me as naval hero, yeah, when I was young. All those memories pursued me on and on, So I'm bound to be, sailing the sea. Tonight we're sailin' in the moonlight, Along the shores of Aphrodite, a love, A rendez vous, in shades of blue. Tonight the silence of the ocean, A sound of love's emotion, the witness of delight. Tonight the silence of the ocean, A sound of love's emotion, the witness of delight.
