Lyrics:

I feel it happening
My heart's giving in
There's nothing wrong with me
My heads' in a spin

The sound of your voice, dear
Just as clear as a bell
The look in your eyes, dear
Makes my heart swell

I'll cover your cheeks, dear
With words that I say
They come from the heart, dear
I'm not making a play

You're every reason
Why I want to pursue
One little trip on a
slow boat through paradise with you

If I've not enough to pay
I'll be a stowaway
And when we make shore
I'll make sure that you're in my arms
and you're telling me softly

I feel it happening
My heart's giving in
There's nothing wrong with me
Can't wait to begin

Your love surrounds me
My dreams have come true
I'll take a trip on that
slow boat through paradise with you
