Ships - Barry Manilow


We walked to the sea just my father and me

and the dogs played around on the sand

Winter and cold cut the air hanging still

everywhere dressed in gray

Did he say hold my hand

I said Love`s easier when it`s far away

We set and watched the distant lights

We`re two ships that pass in the night

we both smile and we say it`s alright

we`re still here it`s just that we`re out of sight

Like those ships that pass in the night

There`s a boat on the line where the sea

meets the sky

There`s another that rides far behind and

It seems you and I are like

Strangers a wide ways a part as we drift

on through time

He said it`s harder now we`re far away

We only read you when you write

We`re two ships that pass in the night

and we smile when we say

It`s alright we`re still here

it`s just that we`re out of sight

Like those ships that pass in the night

We`re just ships that pass in the night

And we smile when we say it`s alright

We`re still here it`s just that we`re out of sight

Like those ships that pass in the night

We`re just two ships that pass in the night
