(Lou Handman / Goodman / Bergman)
Ray Noble and His Orchestra
'twas on a steamer coming over
Life began all anew
A perfect sea, a sunny sky
For there was she, and there was I
What could we do
I knew I was a lucky rover
Every day our love grew
Our hopes were high, our hearts were free
And she and I were both at sea
What could we do
Sweet romance seemed to fill the air
It caught us unaware
We kissed one night beneath a yellow moon
And right then and there
We started humming a happy wedding tune
'twas on a steamer coming over
We both vowed to be true
A perfect sea, a sunny sky
For there was she, and there was I
What could we do
