Down where the trade winds play

Down where you lose the day

We found a new world where paradise starts

We traded high way down where the trade winds play

Music was everywhere, flowers were in her hair

Under an awning of silvery boughs

We traded vows the night that I sailed away

Oh trade winds, what are vows that lovers make

Oh trade winds, are they only made to break

When it is May again, I'll sail away again

Though I'm returning, it won't be the same

She traded her name way down where the trade winds play
