I'll swim and sail on savage seas
With never a fear of drowning
And gladly ride the waves of life
If you will marry me
No scorching Sun nor freezing cold
Will stop me on my journey
If you will promise me your heart
And love me for eternity
My dearest one, my darling dear
Your mighty words astound me
But I've no need of mighty deeds
When I feel your arms around me
But I would bring you rings of gold
I'd even sing you poetry
And I would keep you from all harm
If you would stay beside me
I have no use for rings of gold
I care not for your poetry
I only want your hand to hold
I only want you near me
La, la-la-la-la-la, la, la, la-la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la-la, la, la, la-la-la-la (la-la-la)
La, la-la-la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la (you may, oh)
La, la-la-la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la (la-la-la)
La, la-la-la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la (you may, oh)
La, la-la-la-la-la-la
To love and kiss, and sweetly hold
For the dancing and the dreaming
Through all love's sorrows and delights
I'll keep your laugh inside me
I'll swim and sail on savage seas
With never a fear of drowning
And gladly ride the waves of life
If you will marry me
