Port of Call

When I look out at the sea

I can see

How much I miss you,

And when I look up at the skies

I can realize

How much you miss me too.



Seven days without you by my side, I think to myself that it's not that much time,

Then I come to a realization that every passing second feels like I've been deprived of your love for a lifetime.

Looking out at the horizon and seeing that we are thousands of miles apart,

And it just breaks my heart, breaks my heart.

Looking out at the horizon and seeing nothing but the beautiful color of azure blue,

And I hope that your love for me is true, love is true.

Never seen such a thing as wide and beautiful as the ocean,

Sailing along the coast of Cuba, I begin to fall in love with the world I live in.

Dolphins in the distance provide an astonishing view,

The only thing that I could compare this blissful beauty to is you.

I wouldn't mind calling this perfect utopia my new home,

Docked in Key West, I watch the sunset...alone.

The water so blue and the skies so clear,

My side so lonely...I wish you were here.

Nightfall quickly approaches and I pretend I can see your silhouette under the moon's glow,

Closing my eyes and letting my body drift with the ocean's flow.

Sing at the top of my lungs as I throw myself against the breeze,

Even in this tropical weather, because of my loneliness, my heart begins to freeze.

Hearing your voice in my mind with pleasant charms,

Wishing you were with me tonight to fill my empty arms.



When I look out at the sea

I can see

How much I miss you,

And when I look up at the skies

I can realize

How much you miss me too.



Hearing the wind call my name,

But the underived message from you never came.

Wishing you were here to hold my hand,

As I make my way to Grand Cayman Island.

I love with all my heart is the only thing I want you to know,

As I sail off on the next ship to Mexico.

I wish you were here able to join my side today,

As I swim the beaches of Castaway Cay.

And I know tomorrow I'll be back on U.S. soil for the first time in a week,

But knowing that we are still many miles apart makes me barely able to even speak.

Saying "goodbye" to the friends I've made on this excursion as I fly away like the dove,

When the sun appears over the horizon, I'll finally be saying "hello" again to my one true love.

But for now I hold your picture in my hand and give it a kiss,

Your angelic smile is something that I greatly miss.

Making the return journey back home as I wipe my tears on my sleeve,

Returning all the way to Connecticut to watch you that same day leave.

Just know that even though you and me are at times miles apart,

That you will always hold a special place deep inside my heart.

And I can almost see your face beyond the horizon, too real to be true it seems,

I wish you could share my bed with me tonight to fill my empty dreams.



When I look out at the sea

I can see

How much I miss you,

And when I look up at the skies

I can realize

How much you miss me too.



When I look at your face

I know that my place

Is forever with you,

And when I look into your eyes

I can realize

That you belong with me too.



No matter where I go or what I do,

My only true port of call is you.
