Lyrics
- I wait alone by the side of the sea
I used to roam here with you
There was a dreamboat
You sailed with me
I know it’s gone dear
But still at ev’ry dawn dear
Chorus
Driftwood from the ship of dreams
Still drifts back to me
All that’s left to me it seems
From the used to be
Little words of tenderness
I treasure in my lonely heart
For I have just been driftwood, too
Since we drifted apart
My old sweet heart
- Ship of my dreams
That was lost in the years
In vain I watch by the sea
But when the golden morning appears
The shadows lifting
Sweet mem’ries come a-drifting
Sung here by Vancha March:
