A tropical sea And five lazy days A cool island breeze Baby, I'm sailing away But I'm missing you On a blue holiday Gardenia perfume Blows through my sails Out on an open ocean The blossoms fade to pale Under the moon On a blue holiday But every time I think of you I sink into a deeper blue The blue of your beautiful eyes As twilight turns to starry skies You're alone at home And I'm lonely in paradise I order our drinks And toss you a grin You catch with a wink And you whisper, "Kiss me again" But it's just fantasy On a blue holiday But every time I think of you I sink into a deeper blue The blue of your beautiful eyes As twilight turns to starry skies You're alone at home And I'm lonely in paradise I stare at the waves And stroll down the beach I'd hold you close, oh, but baby You're so far out of reach Of my solitude On this blue holiday Hm, blue holiday
