I Could Have Been a Sailor Lyrics by Maureen McGovern

I Could Have Been a Sailor Lyrics

    I'm a happy woman
    I made my choice in life
    I chose to settle down
    I chose to be a wife
    And I take pleasure in my quiet hearth
    And happy home
    I never gave my heart
    Its chance to roam

    I could have been a sailor
    And sailed the seven seas
    The wind in my face all day
    Can you taste the salty breeze?
    I could have been a lover
    Watchin' waves before me part
    But I settled for safer harbors
    Of my heart

    I'm a lucky woman
    I'm the envy of my peers
    Never ask for favors
    And I never show my fears
    Surrounded by too many friends,
    I am a one-man band
    With all the trappings of
    A life lived second-hand

    I could have been a sailor
    Rollin' through the night
    My sails before the wind
    And the stars my only light
    I could have been a dreamer
    But dreams just fall apart
    So, I settled for safer harbors
    Of my heart

    And I take pleasure in my quiet hearth
    And happy home
    I never gave my heart
    A chance to roam

    I could have been a sailor
    And sailed the seven seas
    The wind in my face all day
    Can you taste the salty breeze?
    I could have been a dreamer
    But dreams just fall apart
    So, I settled for safer harbors
    Of my heart

    I settled for safer harbors
    Of my heart
