My Ship Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass

My ship has sails that are made of silk
The decks are trimmed with gold
And of jam and spice, there′s a paradise in the hold

My ship's aglow with a million pearls
And rubies fill each bin
The sun sits high in a sapphire sky, when my ship comes in

I can wait the years
′Til it appears
One fine day one spring
But the pearls and such
They won't mean much, if there's missing just one thing


I do not care if that day arrives
That dream need never be
If the ship I sing doesn′t also bring
My own true love to me

I can wait the years
′Til it appears
One fine day one spring
But the pearls and such
They won't mean much, if there′s missing just one thing

I do not care if that day arrives
That dream need never be
If the ship I sing doesn't also bring
My own true love to me

If the ship I sing doesn′t also bring
My own true love to me
