For My Lady - Toots Thielemans

For My Lady Lyrics

My boat sails stormy seas
Battles oceans filled with tears
At last my port's in view
Now that I've discovered you
Oh, I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
As life goes drifting by
Like a breeze, she'll gently sigh
And slowly bow her head
Then you'll hear her softly cry
Oh, I'd give my life so lightly
To my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
Words that you say when we're alone
Though actions speak louder than words

But all I can say is I love you so
To drive away all my hurt
Oh, I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
Set sail before the sun
Feel the warmth that's just begun
Share each and every dream
They belong to everyone
Oh, I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
