If a ship of dreams bid me come, would I board it?
If I had their gold in my hands, would I hoard it?
If I knew the trials I must face, would I carry on at all?
Sail into tomorrow, living day to day
That's all I can afford to do and all I'll ever pay
Is a song to sing to thank you for making me alive
And a prayer to bring me comfort--Lord help us to survive
If his pretty eyes shone my way, would I leave you?
If I wasn't sure he would stay, would I deceive you?
If I had to melt you with promises, would they stand or fall?
Sail into tomorrow, living day to day
That's all I can afford to do and all I'll ever pay
Is a song to sing to thank you for making me alive
And a prayer to bring you comfort--Lord help us to survive
If time should call me a fool, would I laugh or would I care?
Sail into tomorrow, living day to day
That's all I can afford to do and all I'll ever pay
Is a song to sing to thank you for making me alive
And a prayer to bring you comfort--Lord help us to survive
If I had their gold in my hands, would I hoard it?
If I knew the trials I must face, would I carry on at all?
Sail into tomorrow, living day to day
That's all I can afford to do and all I'll ever pay
Is a song to sing to thank you for making me alive
And a prayer to bring me comfort--Lord help us to survive
If his pretty eyes shone my way, would I leave you?
If I wasn't sure he would stay, would I deceive you?
If I had to melt you with promises, would they stand or fall?
Sail into tomorrow, living day to day
That's all I can afford to do and all I'll ever pay
Is a song to sing to thank you for making me alive
And a prayer to bring you comfort--Lord help us to survive
If time should call me a fool, would I laugh or would I care?
Sail into tomorrow, living day to day
That's all I can afford to do and all I'll ever pay
Is a song to sing to thank you for making me alive
And a prayer to bring you comfort--Lord help us to survive
