Sail On Through
S Club 8 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well if I could stay with you night and day, I would.
But we're miles apart don't know where to start, no way.
As winter's turning into spring, don't know what life is gonna bring today.
I'm sure we'll be ok,
And I cannnot wait 'til we're back together,
Love conquers all kinds of weather
And when you're true to what you believe,
We'll sail on through.
Well if I could say, I'd be back some day would you wait?
(would you wait, would you wait)
I can't bear the thought that your heart's with someone else.
And spring has gone and summer's here, I feel there's nohting else to fear because, I know you'll be there soon
And I cannot wait till we're back together, love conquers all kinds of weather, when you're true to what you believ we'll sail on through, when you're true to what you believe we'll sail on through.
Lalalalala...lalalala x 4




And spring has gone and summer's here, I feel they're is nothing else to fear because I know you'll be here soon,
And I cannot wait till we're back together, love conquers all kinds of weather, when you're true to what you believe, we'll sail on through, and when you're true to what you believe we'll sail on through.
