lyrics

MAN OVERBOARD
(Bob Lawyer)

Our love was like a schooner
On a placid sea
Gliding us along
So carefree

I was made for you
You were made for me
Together we shined
For everyone to see

The warmth of your eyes
Were like a special kiss
Your long hair glistened
Like sparkles in the mist

But suddenly you left me
And ended all our bliss
You tipped our boat
Set everything adrift

Chorus:
MAN OVERBOARD
In a stormy sea
MAN OVERBOARD
Sinkin’ down since you left me
MAN OVERBOARD
Can anyone see me
It’s lonely as can be

What made you go
I had no way to know
Whatever it was
It never did show

You’ve gone forever
Didn’t see you shed a tear
You left with no warning
You never did hear

Repeat chorus

Bridge:
I hope to find my way ashore
Meet someone who’ll love me more
Someone who will care for me
And never ever let me be

Repeat chorus

Someone rescue me
