Trade Winds

Bing Crosby · Golden Greats [2008]

Down where the trade winds play, down where you lose the day



We found a new world where paradise starts



We traded hearts way down where the trade winds play



Music was everywhere, flowers were in her hair



Under an awning of silvery boughs



We traded vows the night that I sailed away



Oh, trade winds, what are vows that lovers make?



Oh, trade winds, are they only made to break?



When it is May again, I'll sail away again



Though I'm returning, it won't be the same



She traded her name way down where the trade winds play



Blow trade winds, blow away
