Verse 1     I’m longing for you

Like a flower wants the rain

I’m longing for you

Like a poor man needs his pay

Late at night

Somewhere beneath the moon

Wherever you are, I am longing for you



Verse 2     I’m longing for you

From a sailboat on the sea

I’m longing for you

From a crowded city street

Late at night,

All the towns I’m passin through

I try to forget

That I am longing for you



Chorus   As I sail across the ocean, margaritas in my hand

My happiness lasted, long as footprints in the sand

I was hoping that the mountains, held the magic they once knew

But without you they were lonesome, making me blue



Verse 3     I’m longing for you

As the morning colors fill the sky

I’m longing for you

As I watch the days go by

Late at night, as the boats come off the sea

And the lights are going down

Are you longing for me?



Chorus    As I sail across the ocean, margaritas in my hand

My happiness lasted, long as footprints in the sand

I was hoping that the mountains, held the magic they once had

But without you they were lonesome, making me sad



From the salt beneath the ocean, to the highest mountain I ever knew

You’ll find me out there somewhere, longing for you
