We wish you fair winds on baby blue seas, 
Em	           Em7	   C	D 
As you sail through time with serenity.	pause, then slowly 

    G		       Bm7	    G		          Bm				 
May you always feel the love, may always you find affection, 
	       G		        Bm7	   C    C2	            D    D7 
When you look into our eyes, and see own reflection.
