You were only sixteen, waving goodbye
You sailed across the whole world leaving your world behind
No one can escape it, we're sailing through time
But you were such a brave one, waving goodbye
And days they turn into years and we come and go
Here then gone
So cry all your tears
When you gotta let go
Still we keep on sailing, sailing, sailing on
Keep on sailing, sailing, sailing on
You fell in love at eighteen, with a kindhearted man
Even years and years together
Weren't enough for all you planned
No one can escape it
We're sailing through life
But you were such a strong one
Waving goodbye
And days they turn into years and we come and go
Here then gone
So cry all your tears
When you gotta let go
Still we keep on sailing, sailing, sailing on
Keep on sailing, sailing, sailing on
Every moment flashing by
Is a gift that won't come twice
Regrets are no good thing
So open up your eyes
While you are alive
Everybody says goodbye
And days they turn into years and we come and go
Here then gone
So cry all your tears
When you gotta let go
Still we keep on sailing, sailing, sailing on (sailing on)
Keep on sailing, sailing, sailing on (ooh, oh)
We've come now to the ending
It's hard to let you go
You showed me how to be strong
Even if I fight alone
No one can escape it
We're sailing through life
Now I have to be the brave one
Waving goodbye
You'll keep sailing, sailing, sailing on
You'll keep sailing, sailing, sailing on
You'll keep sailing, sailing, sailing on
You'll keep sailing, sailing, sailing on
