Day after day I’m waiting patiently
And when the salty wind is blowing from the sea
I pretend that it’s the breeze
That’s filling the sails that’s moving the ship
That’s bringing my Honey back to me

I always keep my window open wide
I like to let the friendly breeze come right inside
And pretend that it’s the breeze
That’s filling the sails that’s moving the ship
That’s bringing my Honey back to me

Mister wind, keep blowing stronger
‘Cos I must have that girl of mine
Every day seems so much longer
Don’t forget it’s daylight saving time

I get so lonesome waiting days and weeks
But every breath of air that lingers on my cheeks
Seems to whisper, it’s the breeze
That’s filling the sails that’s moving the ship
That’s bringing my Honey back to me

Day after day I'm waitin' patiently,
And when the salty wind is blowin' from the sea,
I pretend that it's the breeze
That's been in the sails and movin' the ship
That's bringin' my honey back to me.

I always keep my window open wide,
I like to let the friendly breeze come right inside,
And pretend that it's the breeze
That's been in the sails and movin' the ship
That's bringin' my honey back to me.

Mister wind, keep blowin' stronger,
Because I must have that guy of mine.
Well every day seems so much longer,
And don't forget it's daylight savin' time!

I get so lonesome waitin' days and weeks,
But every breath of air that lingers on my cheek
Seems to whisper it's the breeze
That's been in the sails and movin' the ship
That's bringin' my honey back to me.

Day after day, I'm a-waitin',
'Cause the wind is a-blowin' from the sea,
Well it's the sea, the breeze, the ship, the sail,
That's bringin' my honey to me.

I keep my window open wide,
I like to let that breeze come right inside,
Well it's the sea, the breeze, the ship, the sail,
That's bringin' my honey to me.

Hey mister wind, keep blowin' stronger,
'Cause I must have that man of mine,
And every day seems so much longer,
Now don't forget it's daylight savin' time!

I get so lonesome waitin' days and weeks,
But every breath of air that lingers on my cheeks
Seems to whisper it's the breeze
That's been in the sails and movin' the ship
That's bringin' my honey back to me.
Well it's the sea, the breeze, the ship, the sail,
That's bringin' my honey to me!
