Composers: Angelo Bond~Norman Whitefield

I don’t know what your folks got against me, girl
But I do know I want you permanently in my world

What’s age or color
Or money when you love one another
I know you keep sayin’ to me
Our love will win in the end, you’ll see

But baby sail (Sail) away (Away) with me
(I can’t wait another day, girl)
So you (So you) and I (And I) can be free
(Oh, baby)

To share our love
Under the stars above
We’ll spend the rest of our lives
Makin’ love mornin’, noon and night

Take the wings from a bird
And don’t you know it can’t fly
If they take your love from me
I would surely die

Don’t get lost in all they’re sayin’
Games are all that they’re playin’
I know you keep sayin’ to me
Our love will win in the end, you’ll see

But baby, sail away with me
{I can’t wait another day, girl}
Where you {Where you} and I {And I} can be free
{Mmm, hmm}

To share our love
Under the stars above
We’ll spend the rest of our lives
Makin’ love mornin’, noon and night, baby

Yeah, baby

True love
Is a once and a lifetime thing, my dear
We can’t let what others think about us
Destroy what we share

You said we can take the rejection
We can build a wall of protection
I can feel the pressure closin’ in all around us
Girl, don’t let them destroy our love

But baby, sail away with me
Ah...
Where you, girl, and I can be free

We’ll go share our love
Under the stars above
We’ll spend the rest of our lives
Makin’ love mornin’, noon and night, baby

Sail, baby {Sail, baby}, away {Away} with me {With me}
