Your Ocean Blue Eyes

 

Deep are the seas
and deep are the skies
but how deep, how deep
are your ocean blue eyes.
Ahoi, ahoi, ahoi.

 

Will dive into seas
and fly into skies
for a smile, a smile
of your ocean blue eyes.
Ahoi, ahoi, ahoi.

 

I have sailed the seas
and conquered the skies
but I drown, I drown
in your ocean blue eyes.
Ahoi, ahoi, ahoi.

 

Will leave the seas
and forsake the skies
will love till I die
your ocean blue eyes.
Ahoi, ahoi, ahoi.
