Lyrics
1. Ship of Dreams, I ask of you
Take me o’er the ocean blue
To Loveland, sweet Loveland
To someone who’ll give to me
Tender love and sympathy
In Loveland, sweet Loveland
I’m like the wind that is blowing
Tossed about by fate
I hope my fate I’ll be knowing
Ere it is too late
Refrain:
Take me somewhere, ship of my dreams
Over the sea, softly to me
Love keeps a calling
I’m forever drifting, it seems
Drifting away out where the gray shadows are falling
Will my star of hope be always shining?
Will my dreamboat ever find that silver lining?
Take me where real happiness beams
Never a care, please take me there
Ship of my dreams
2. Must I never know the bliss
Of a sweetheart’s goodnight kiss
I wonder, I wonder
There must be someone somewhere
Who’ll be glad my love to share
Out yonder, out yonder
Are all my dreams to be only what I’m living for
What I just born to be lonely
This, and nothing more?
