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 ship’s aglow with a million pearls
And rubies fill each bin
The sun sits high in a sapphire sky when my ship comes inRead More »My Ship
I was strolling out one evening by the silv’ry moon
I could hear somebody singing a familiar tune
So I stopped a while to listen
Not a word I wanted to miss

Come along and let the wedding chimes
Bring happy times
For Mandy and meRead More »Mandy
