Song lyrics to My Ship, from the musical Lady in the Dark, as recorded by Danny Kaye
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 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
If the ship I sing doesn’t also bring my own true love to me
