Down where the trade winds play 

Down where you lose the day 

We found a new world where paradise starts 

We traded high way down where the trade winds play 

Music was everywhere, flowers were in her hair 

Under an awning of silvery boughs 

We traded vows the night that I sailed away 

Oh trade winds, what are vows that lovers make 

Oh trade winds, are they only made to break 

When it is May again, I'll sail away again 

Though I'm returning, it won't be the same 

She traded her name way down where the trade winds play
