Lyrics

SONG TITLE: PEACEFUL WATERS

AUTHOR (S): GEOFF SAMUELS


YOU WERE THE HAPPY ONE WHO BROUGHT US SUNSHINE EVERY MORNING
YOU WERE THE GIVING ONE WHO MADE PANCAKES FOR US ALL
YOU WERE THE GENEROUS ONE WHO LET HIS HOUSE BE OUR HOUSE
YOU TOOK IT ALL IN STRIDE

YOU WERE THE THOUGHTFUL ONE WHO LED US TO THE WATER
AND BROUGHT US ALL TOGETHER BY THE GENTLE RISING TIDE
YOU WERE THE LOVING ONE WHO LIKED TEDDY BEARS AND SOFT THINGS
A LOVE YOU COULD NOT HIDE

FAREWELL MY FRIEND
MAY YOUR SHIP SAIL FOREVER
ON PEACEFUL WATERS, PEACEFUL WATERS
FARE WELL MY FRIEND
MAY YOUR SHIP SAIL FOREVER
ON PEACEFUL WATERS

I REMEMBER THE DAY WE ALL SAILED ACROSS THE BAY
BEFORE A CAREFREE WIND
THEN BACK AGAIN UNDER DARK STORMY SKIES
YOUR STRONG HAND ON THE TILLER AS WE HUDDLED INSIDE
YOUR STRENGTH YOU COULD NOT HIDE

AND NOW YOU HAVE LEFT US STANDING SADLY BY THE WATER
AS YOU SAIL SO FAR AWAY INTO AN ETERNAL RED SKY
BUT WE SHOULD ALL TAKE COMFORT KNOWING
THAT YOU?VE REACHED THE OTHER SIDE
AND YOUR LOVE WILL NEVER DIE
NEVER DIE

FAREWELL MY FRIEND
MAY YOUR SHIP SAIL FOREVER
ON PEACEFUL WATERS, PEACEFUL WATERS
FARE WELL MY FRIEND
MAY YOUR SHIP SAIL FOREVER
ON PEACEFUL WATERS
