I'd like to get aboard a steamer
And sail away across the blue,
Far away, far away, far away from everybody,
And only close to you!

I wanna lazy tropic island
Where making love is all you do,
Far away, far away, far away from everybody,
And only close to you!

So darling, close youe eyes and come away with me,
On the journey of my dreams.
With you in my arms,
Close in my arms,
How wonderful, how very wonderful it seems!

I'd like to find my own oasis,
A perfect paradise for tweo,
Far away, far away, far away from everybody,
And only close to you!

So darling, close youe eyes and come away with me,
On the journey of my dreams.
With you in my arms,
Close in my arms,
How wonderful, how very wonderful it seems!

I'd like to find my own oasis,
A perfect paradise for tweo,
Far away, far away, far away from everybody,
And only close, so very close to you!
