Big Ship 1935 'Music Hath Charms'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 10 Jun 2004

I'm watching by the sea
a ship that's going far from me;
it's going where I long to be,
and while I'm sighing
my heart is crying:

Big ship,
carry this message to the one I love,
Tell her I'd give the very stars above
just to be crossing the sea to find her.
Big ship,
tell her you saw me here as you went past,
counting the days until she's mine at last,
wondering when it will be.
Say I love her so,
tell her that you know
my poor heart's a lonely one
because she's still the only one.
I'll be waiting when you come back again,
hoping you'll have brought for me
a message or a thought for me,
so Big Ship,
tell her I'm thinking of her night and noon,
tell her I'm coming with you some day soon.
Take her a blessing from me.

tell her I'm coming with you some day soon.
Take her a blessing from me.
