The other day i went down to a crystal gazer 
She told my fortune by the cards 
From crystal balls and chandeliers 
She predicted: you will be a lonely sailor 
All alone you're gonna sail the seven seas 

But i promise you my friend wherever i go 
I'm gonna write you a letter to let you know 
I'm sailing away across the oceans 
But i'm sailing with you on my mind 
I'll let you know all about my emotions 
How i miss you each day and each night
I'm sailing away across the oceans 
But i'm sailing with you on my heart
I'll let you know all about my emotions 
With a message in a bottle from my heart
 
I will never let you down so stop crying 
Yes you'd better save your tears for rainy days 

But i promise you my friend wherever i go 
I'm gonna write you a letter to let you know 
I'm sailing away across the oceans 
But i'm sailing with you on my mind 
I'll let you know all about my emotions
How i miss you each day and each night 
I'm sailing away across the oceans
But i'm sailing with you on my heart 
I'll let you know all about my emotions 
With a message in a bottle from my heart
