Lew Stone and His Band


All ashore, we’re sailing
To an island of dreams somewhere
All ashore, we’re sailing
Cast away every fear and care

So stay in my arms till the storms are through
Till the new lights of home come in view
All ashore, we’re sailing
To the harbour where dreams come true

All ashore, we’re sailing
To the harbour where dreams come true
