Yvonne Elliman Lyrics
"Sailing Ships"

Trees stay green; the wind still blows
And leaves they gone with the widening wind
Birds still fly and dogs may whine
and life has been sadly divine with you

Chorus
Sailing ships fight the wind and rain
Only to go their separate ways
So wave goodbye
Wave good-bye my friend. I loved you

If eyes did speak, they told us
We could no longer be together again
For lovers part in time of stress
When the love needs rest to grow strong again

Repeat Chorus

Lover, other loves may grow
To fill our hearts with freedom
A song to sing when we are low
To love is to be forgiving

Repeat Chorus
