My Ship

My Ship - Buddy Greco

My ship has sails that are made of silk

The decks are trimmed with gold

And of jam and spice

There's a paradise in the hold

My ships are aglow with a million pearls

And rubies fill each bin

The sun sits high in a sapphire sky

When my ship comes in

I can wait the years till it appears

One fine day one spring

But the pearls and such

They won't mean much

If there's missing just one thing

I do not care if that day arrives

That dream need never be

If the ship I sing

Doesn't also bring

My own true love to me

My own true love to me
