[Verse 1]
Trees stay green, the wind still blows
And leaves they go with the winding wind
Birds still fly and dogs may whine
And life has been so sadly divine with you

[Chorus]
Sailing ships fight the winds and rain
Only to go their separate ways
So wave goodbye
Wave goodbye, my friend
I loved you

[Verse 2]
If eyes did speak they told us
We could no longer be together again
For lovers part in times of stress
When the love needs rest to grow strong again

[Chorus]
Sailing ships fight the winds and rain
Only to go their separate ways
So wave goodbye
Wave goodbye, my friеnd
I loved you
[Bridge]
Lover, other lovеs may grow
To fill our hearts with freedom
A song to sing when we are low
To love is to be forgiving

[Chorus]
Sailing ships fight the winds and rain
Only to go their separate ways
So wave goodbye
Wave goodbye, my friend
I loved you

[Outro]
I loved you
I loved you
