SHIPS (Barry Manilow)

     We walked to the sea
     Just my father and me
     And the dogs played around on the sand
     Winter cold cut the air
     Hangin’ still everywhere
     Dressed in gray, did he say
     Hold my hand ?

     I said love’s easier when it’s far away
     We sat and watched a distant light
     We’re two ships that pass in the night
     We both 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

     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 apart 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
     We both 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 ships that pass in the night
     And we smile when we say it’s alright
