I'm a happy man I made my choice in life I chose to settle down I chose to take a
wife and I take pleasure in my quiet hearth and happy home I never gave my
heart its chance to roam
I could have been a sailor and sailed the seven seas with the wind in my face all day
can you taste the salty breeze I could have been a lover watching waves before
me part but I settled for safer harbors of my heart
I'm a lucky man I'm the envy of my peers I never asked for favors when I never
show my fears surrounded by too many friends I am a one-man band with all the
trappings of a life lived second-hand
I could have been a sailor rolling through the night my sails before the
wind where the stars are my only light I could have been a dreamer yeah but
dreams just fall apart so I settled for safer harbors of my heart
and I take pleasure in my quiet hearth and happy home I never gave my heart its chance
to roam
I could have been a sailor and sailed the seven seas with the wind in my face all day
can you taste the salty breeze I could have been a dreamer and watched the waves before
me part but I settled for safer harbors
oh sailor
sail the seven seas there's the wind in your face all day I can taste the salty breeze
lover I can see the waves before you part while I settle for safer harbors of my heart
