Sailing - Holly Starr

You were only sixteen, waving goodbye

You sailed across the whole world

Leaving your world behind

No one can escape it

We’re sailing through time

But you were such a brave one

Waving goodbye

The days they turn into years

And we come and go

Here then gone

So cry all your tears

When you gotta let go

Still, we keep on, sailing, sailing, sailing on

Keep on, sailing, sailing, sailing on

You fell in love at eighteen with a kindhearted man

Even years and years together

Weren’t enough for all you planned

No one can escape it

We’re sailing through life

But you were such a strong one

Waving goodbye

The days they turn into years

And we come and go

Here then gone

So cry all your tears

When you gotta let go

Still, we keep on, sailing, sailing, sailing on

Keep on, sailing, sailing, sailing on

Every moment flashing by

Is a gift that won’t come twice

Regrets are no good thing

So open up your eyes

While you are alive

Everybody says goodbye

The days they turn into years

And we come and go

Here then gone

So cry all your tears

When you gotta let go

Still, we keep on, sailing, sailing, sailing on

Keep on, sailing, sailing, sailing on

We’ve come now to the ending

It’s hard to let you go

You showed me how to be strong

Even if I fight alone

No one can escape it

We’re sailing through life

Now I have to be the brave one

Waving goodbye

You’ll keep, sailing, sailing, sailing on

You’ll keep, sailing, sailing, sailing on

You’ll keep, sailing, sailing, sailing on

You’ll keep, sailing, sailing, sailing on
