Lyrics:

(Mark McGuinn/Jim Foster)I&ampapos;ve been staring out the window all dayI keep seeing your ship sail awayI just read your letter last nightNow you&ampapos;re so far out of sightI held a treasure in my handI lost it like a shell in the sandYou&ampapos;re out there in deep blueMy heart&ampapos;s there with youThere is an islandTwo lovers aim forSailin&ampapos; togetherTo reach that shoreYou only get so many chancesYou can&ampapos;t afford to miss the boatOr your heart will go sinkin&ampapos;&ampapos;Cause love don&ampapos;t floatI&ampapos;ll be waitin&ampapos; til you throw me a lineHoney I&ampapos;ll know what to do this timeI&ampapos;m never gonna give up hopeI wait for the boatThere is an islandTwo lovers aim forSailin&ampapos; togetherTo reach that shoreYou only get so many chancesYou can&ampapos;t afford to miss the boatOr your heart will go sinkin&ampapos;&ampapos;Cause love don&ampapos;t floatSinkin&ampapos; and sinkin&ampapos; and sinkin&ampapos; and sinkin&ampapos;Love don&ampapos;t float
