Sail along silv'ry moon trail along lover's lane
Sail along silv'ry moon to my love again
In the glow of your light let me see her tonight
Once again hold her tight back in lover's lane

And then the whole world will seem brighter as we stroll hand in hand
Two blue hearts will seem lighter you understand
Sail along silv'ry moon trail along lover's lane
Sail along silv'ry moon to my love again

And then the whole world will seem brighter
