There's a ship on the sea.
And it's sailing tonight,
Sailing tonight!

And Daddy's aboard,
And the moon's shining bright,
Shining so bright!

Dear Moon, he'll be sailing
For many a night,
Sailing from Mommy and me.

Oh! Could you follow him
With your bright and silvery light,
As Daddy sails over the sea,

Over the sea,
And bring my Daddy home,
Safe home to me.
