Baby it's been a long time
|
We've been sitting on drydock
|
And it seems like all the pathways
|
Have been blocked
|
|
Now the tides have turned
|
And the rewards we have earned
|
Bringing us good feeling
|
Set our hearts a-reeling, baby
|
|
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping
|
Our ship is sailing, yes we are moving
|
Our ship is sailing, and we are moving
|
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping
|
'Til we say so
|
|
Hey now
|
|
Now let's rock it steady
|
Since a long time we've been ready
|
Let nothing detract our attention
|
Let's take our time
|
'Cause I'm feeling so fine
|
When you hold me tight
|
Everything's all right, darlin'
|
|
Our ship is sailing, yes we are moving
|
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping
|
Our ship is sailing, let's keep on moving
|
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping
|
'Til we say so
|
|
Hey hey now
|
|
Now with love and affection
|
We're moving in the right direction
|
Satisfaction is the key along the way
|
So let's share the joy
|
Like a child with a new toy
|
Baby hold me tight
|
Everything's all right, darlin'
|
|
Our ship is sailing, and we are moving
|
Our ship is sailing, there ain't now stopping now
|
Our ship is sailing, yes we are on the go
|
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping
|
|
Let's share the joy (Our ship is sailing)
|
Like a child with a new toy (Our ship is sailing)
|
Baby let's take our time (Our ship is sailing)
|
'Cause I'm feeling so fine
|
Babe
|
Yeah yeah
|
