Catch the wind, see us spin, sail-away leave the day, way up high in the sky 
hey whoa,  But the wind won't blow, you really shouldn't go,  it only 
goes to show, that you will be mine by taking our time.  Oooh Ho whoa. 
 
VERSE: 
And if you say to me tomorrow, oh what fun it all would be.  Then what's to 
stop us pretty baby, but what is and what should never be.
