You’re across the Atlantic, my cold ocean, so far from home.
I sincerely hope you have the time of your life.
I’m sure it will be a summer to remember but I hope I forget,
Though it doesn’t seem likely that you’ll be off my mind.
The mark you’ve made on my life is indelible; you’re my girl in the white dress, yeah.
I’m sure the sun won’t shine as bright without you.
I hope you find someone who loves you like I do.
I hope he makes you happy forever.
I hope he helps you find whatever it is that you’ve been looking for.
I hope he never forgets what he’s got.
I hope he tells you you’re beautiful, and that your smile lights up the room.
I bet he’ll say it much better than me.
I don’t think you would, but don’t worry about me; I’ll be fine.
I’ll stay out of your life now, I promise.
Don’t come looking for me, ‘cause I won’t be where you knew me anymore.
I’ll raise my sail, catch the westward wind, and fly away.
Fly away.
Maybe I’ll land in California.
