A  sailboat in the moonlight and you,
Wouldn't that be heaven, a heaven just for two.
A soft breeze on a June night and you,
What a perfect settin' for lettin' dreams come true.


A chance to sail away
To Sweetheart Bay,
Beneath the stars that shine.
A chance to drift,
For you to lift
Your tender lips to mine.
The things, dear, that I long for are few;
Just give me a sailboat in the moonlight and you.
