[Intro – soft ocean wave sounds, bright steel drum riff]
Waves are dancing gold
Sails unfold
[Verse 1 – bouncy bass line, gentle shaker percussion]
Deck chairs warm beneath bare feet
Salt wind tangles in your hair
Every star that we might meet
Is already waiting there
No maps, no plans, no clock to beat
Just the ocean and the air
[Pre-Chorus – rising piano chords, hand claps]
We don't need a shore tonight
We already got the light
[Chorus – full steel drums, joyful layered harmonies]
Oh we're sailing on the love boat
Sunset spilling on the sea
Every laugh is an anchor
Every kiss is the breeze
We don't care where we're going
As long as you're here with me
[Interlude – cheerful steel drum solo]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Verse 2 – soft ukulele joins, relaxed tempo]
Radio crackles old slow songs
Ice cubes melt in paper cups
You sing wrong words all along
And I don't dare interrupt
All the world can wait right on
While the tide is lifting us
[Pre-Chorus – building hand claps, bright synths]
Moon is climbing overhead
Nothing needs to be said
[Chorus – full joyful arrangement, group backing vocals]
Oh we're floating on the love boat
Waves rock us soft and slow
Every sunset is forever
Every heartbeat I know
There ain't no better harbour
Than the one right here we hold
[Bridge – warm gentle pads, quiet ocean sounds]
Storm might come, wind might turn
We got all the love we earn
Even when the tide runs low
This boat will always go
[Final Chorus – maximum energy, all instruments, joyful ad libs]
Oh we're dancing on the love boat
Stars fall into the foam
Every horizon glows brighter
Every mile feels like home
We can sail on forever
We don't ever need to come home
[Outro – fading steel drums, soft wave sounds]
Sails catch the golden glow
We just go, we just go
