Karaoke version



Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be,
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy,"
And joined the Nay-ay-vee.
(Sha-la-la-la, sha-la.)

He said he wanted to settle down,
And let me be his girl.
But first he had to do a little travelin' around,
And see the whole wide world.

That's why I'm,
Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be,
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy,"
And joined the Nay-ay-vee.
(Sha-la-la-la, sha-la.)

I got a letter yesterday from Tokyo,
And a souvenir.
A walky-talky, wind-up, little, China doll,
That says, "Wish you were here."

[Instrumental break]

Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be,
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy,"
And joined the Nay-ay-vee.
(Sha-la-la-la, sha-la.)

He's comin' home to see me on a weekend pass.
A forty-eight hour day-ate.
That boat he's sailin' on just better get here fast,
'Cause I can hardly wait.

Till then I'm,
Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be,
'Cause my steady boy said, "Ship ahoy,"
And joined the Nay-ay-vee.

[Diane sings an elongated Ah-ahhhhhh's while backups repeat, "Blue, navy blue,
I'm as blue as I can be."]

Sarah Nixey version



C'est le temps de l'amour, le temps des copains et de l'aventure
Quand le temps va et vient, on ne pense à rien malgré ses blessures
Car le temps de l'amour, c'est long et c'est court
Ça dure toujours, on s'en souvient

On se dit qu'à vingt ans, on est le roi du monde
Et qu'éternellement, il y aura dans nos yeux tout le ciel bleu

C'est le temps de l'amour, le temps des copains et de l'aventure
Quand le temps va et vient, on ne pense à rien malgré ses blessures
Car le temps de l'amour, ça vous met au cœur
Beaucoup de chaleur et de bonheur

Un beau jour c'est l'amour et le cœur bat plus vite
Car la vie suit son cours et l'on est tout heureux d'être amoureux

C'est le temps de l'amour, le temps des copains et de l'aventure
Quand le temps va et vient, on ne pense à rien malgré ses blessures
Car le temps de l'amour, c'est long et c'est court
Ça dure toujours, on s'en souvient.

Lyric - Somewhere With You

Somewhere With You
Chesney Kenny
Album: Hemingway's Whiskey


If you're going out with someone new
I'm going out with someone too
I won't feel sorry for me, I'm getting drunk
But I'd much rather be somewhere with you

Laughing loud on a carnival ride, yeah
Driving around on a Saturday night
You made fun of me for singing my song
Got a hotel room just to turn you on

You said pick me up at three a.m.
You're fighting with your mom again
And I'd go, I'd go, I'd go somewhere with you

I won't sit outside your house
And wait for the lights to go out
Call up an ex to rescue me, climb in their bed
When I'd much rather sleep somewhere with you

Like we did on the beach last summer
When the rain came down and we took cover
Down in your car, out by the pier
You laid me down, whispered in my ear

I hate my life, hold on to me
Ah, if you ever decide to leave
Then I'll go, I'll go, I'll go

I can go out every night of the week
Can go home with anybody I meet
But it's just a temporary high 'cause when I close my eyes
I'm somewhere with you, somewhere with you

If you see me out on the town
And it looks like I'm burning it down
You won't ask and I won't say
But in my heart I'm always somewhere with you

Laughing loud on a carnival ride, yeah
Driving around on a Saturday night
You made fun of me for singing my song
Got a hotel room just to turn you on

You said pick me up at three a.m.
You're fighting with your mom again
And I'd go, I'd go, I'd go

I can go out every night of the week
Can go home with anybody I meet
But it's just a temporary high 'cause when I close my eyes
I'm somewhere with you, somewhere with you

Somewhere with you
I'm somewhere with you
I'm somewhere with you
Somewhere with you
Somewhere with you
