Cool Breeze Lyrics

Sailor Cool Breeze

I took a trip down to the shores of Tahiti
I met a girl walking along the sand
I never thought for a guy like me, love would come so
easy
I said to her that "I want to be your man"
But she turned her head away from me
And told me this could never be
And then she left without telling why
(Chorus):
Cool breeze, cool off my burning heart
And blow away the misty reason that keeps us apart
Cool breeze, blow all my thoughts away
For she's on my mind by night and by day

I had to know, so I went to her father's plantation
And there he stood, leaning against the door
I said "Please, won't you give me some kind of
explanation?"
But all he said was "She won't be here no more
For she's on the ship that sailed away"
But why she's gone, he wouldn't say
I wonder if she'll ever return
(Repeat chorus)
Cool breeze, cool off my burning heart
And blow away the misty reason that keeps us apart
Cool breeze
