Sail to the Lights on the Shore.
Copyright, 1888, by T. B. Harms & Co.
Written and Composed by Gussie L Davis.
Sail, sail to the lights on the shore, to the smiles that first made my heart glad;
Sail to the maiden so constant and pure, that loves none but her sailor lad;
Sail, sail to the kisses of old, back to the one I adore;
Back where fond words of love were told; so sail to the lights on the shore.
Last night I dreamed that her heart was another's;
Lonely my bark floated down life's dark stream;
Hard words were spoken, love-ties were broken-
It was only a dream, it was only a dream.
Sail, sail to the lights on the shore, to the smiles that flrst made my heart glad:
Sail to the maiden so constant and pure, that loves none but her sailor lad;
Sail, sail to the kisses of old, back to the one I adore;
back where fond words of love were told; so sail to the lights on the shore.
Yo, ho! to my heart's delight! yo, ho! to my beauty bright!
