He left home boy of seventeen
Long Island behind him
In search of all his dreams
The first passage sailed from
Liverpool to Rome
Some hard lessons learned
A long way from home
He sailed the blue star line
All the dreams he had became mine
He still sails the blue star line
When I was born he gave up the life
And came back to settle with his son and his wife
They had two daughters our family was made
Those happy memories they'll never fade
A simple man from a simple home
He taught me everything I'll ever know
Had a heart of gold warm eyes so brown
Won't you Tell him I miss him
If you see him around
He sailed the blue star line
All the dreams he had became mine
He still sails the blue star line
I sit by the seaside
When I return to my home
I can hear him whisper
Son you're not alone
He sailed the blue star line
All the dreams he had became mine
He still sails the blue star line
He sailed the blue star line
All the dreams he had became mine
He still sails the blue star line
