(As released by Patsy Cline, October 28, 1963) 



We've been sweethearts for so long

But now you say we're thru

The love we shared is now a memory

I have built a ship of dreams

And planned them all for you

But now I guess what is to be, will be



CHORUS:

I'll sail my ship alone

With all the dreams I own

Drifting out across the ocean blue

Yes, I'll sail my ship alone

Tho' all the sails you've torn

And when it starts to sinkin'

I'll blame you



Now, I gave a message to the wind

To take back home to you

Hoping you would hear my S-O-S

I thought that you would come back home

My darlin', if you knew

How much my achin' heart was in distress



Well,

REPEAT CHORUS
