Sailing by Christopher Cross is a popular request during the sunset sail. I am surprised that this American song writer is still so popular. He wrote the song Sailing in 1979 and it reached the number 1 spot in the billboard shortly after. So why is the song “Sailing” requested so much on our boat tours?
After some years of relative quietness Christopher now embarks once again on a big tour promoting his latest album. In June 2019 Christopher Cross came to Spain to promote his latest album, “Take me as I am” which is a huge success.
His name is connected to his first and probably most successful song “Sailing” so people now remember the song once again. We hope to hear more sailing related music from Christopher to play during our sailing tours in Barcelona.
The lyrics of Sailing Christopher Cross
Well, it’s not far down to paradise, at least it’s not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see.
Believe me.
It’s not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see.
Believe me.
Sailing takes me away to where I’ve always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free Fantasy, it gets the best of me
When I’m sailing
All caught up in the reverie, every word is a symphony
Won’t you believe me?
Sailing takes me away to where I’ve always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free Well it’s not far back to sanity, at least it’s not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see.
Believe me.
Sailing takes me away to where I’ve always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
