Christopher Cross - Sailing Lyrics






Well, it's not far down to paradise, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me

It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me

Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Fantasy, it gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie, every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?

Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Well it's not far back to sanity, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me

Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

  1. J.... E....

    I love music especially with my honey I'm not the one who gets mushy music puts me in that mood

  2. B.... E....

    So I am about to get some blood work done, and someone upset me.. now I have to listen to this song to calm down so the blood can flow. I am already a hard stick.

  3. H.... P....

    A time when you could play stickball on your street and your neighbors wouldn't try to run you over...then lining up to drink water straight out of your water hose.

  4. G.... T....

    Last year I lost my father in law. His nickname was the music man. As a family, We were stunned at his passing. The first complete song I heard was this one. I was in the bathroom at Denny’s. He told me before. What a man.

  11. L.... W....

    One of my favorite song I love this song

  12. P.... W....

    Im going sailing does anyone want to come?

  13. K.... R....

    Found myself here again, a year and a week since my Dad passed away, this song says it all. It pulls at my heart so much. I miss you Dad. I love you.

    K.... R....

    I am so sorry for your loss😞

  14. S.... M....

    Penisy song

  15. F.... L....

    I came here because this song has been stuck on repeat in my head for 4 days. I never really liked it, but I usually find wisdom in the words of a song my subconscious wants me to hear. Thanks to whoever wrote the lyrics in the comments, cause I can't make some of the words out exactly.

  16. L.... ....

    Lol MAN this song brings back memories, I remember back in the 80’s it was almost the beginning of summer and I was visiting my older brother in college. We were standing outside his very weed smelling dorm room and a cute strawberry blonde girl passed by, winked and said hi to my brother, turned out to be his wife, I say all this because I remember this song playing in the background on the radio, lol!

  17. J.... S....

    billy eyelash killed

    2020 Grammys brought me here. I've just read no one had won the four major prizes since 1981, and I wonder who was it then. Turns out it was Christopher Cross with this album. I swear I had no idea who he was till now... well, this is a beautiful song indeed.

  33. B.... F....

    This is going to be my theme song when I'm sailing around the world.

  34. T.... D....

    I heard this for the first time the other night sitting in the car outside the grocery store and it was like the world paused for a sec so I could hear this beautiful song.

  35. C.... D....

    As a kid, I had alot of chores, some days my chores were too much for me,,, I would always turn on the radio n this song was always in the mix,,, it brought me thru some tough lazy times too,, I too miss my childhood, it was rough but really fun at times.

    N.... F....

    Thanks for sharing. ❤

  89. P.... T....

    This song will still be a hit 3019 when we return in our spaceship that went out at lightspeed.

  90. I.... K....

    DIAMOND VOICE, J'ADORE, OH OUI !

  91. R.... L....

    Saw the video and you would never guess correctly what he looks like....Cool as a cucumber singing....tall, a little heavy, bearded l believe, long hair, but smooth as shit.

    I know, you pictured him about 5ft..10 maybe, slim, clean cut, handsome.....Nope, sorry, but his voice is ALL that counts.

    If this song doesn't relax you and take you far away, RUN to your nearest mental health facility..
    You have a problem

  92. F.... B....

    Everything will be okay. It may seem tough now, but in the end it will be okay.
