i wave bye bye
Just out in the harbor All the ships asleep Maybe one cold watchman Walks a lonely beat Way out on the water A ship is under sail Leaving wavy starlight And a dreamer in her trail   I wave bye bye I pray God speed I wish lovely weather More luck than you need You'll only sail in circles So there's no need to cry No, I'll see you again one day And then I waved bye bye   The sailing ship reminds me Of a certain girl Who left a certain dreamer To sail into the world I've very friendly post-cards From very far away But they just remind me Of a certain day   I wave bye bye I pray God speed I wish lovely weather And all the luck that you need You'll only sail in circles So there's no need to cry No, I'll see you again one day And then I waved bye bye
