Sailing Lyrics

Well it's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
Oh the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Baby believe me oh
It's not far to Never Never Land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
Oh the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Baby believe me oh
Sailing (takes me away)
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
(I heard it could be)
Just a dream and a wind to carry me
(Soon I will be free)
Soon I will be free, yeah
Fantasy, it gets the best of me
When I'm sailing, sailing
All the world in a reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me, oh
Sailing (takes me away)
(Takes me away)
Takes me away to where I want to be
(To where I've always heard it could be)
(I heard it could be)
Just a dream and a wind to carry me
(Soon I will be free)
Soon I will be free
Well it's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Baby believe me, oh
Sailing (takes me away)
Takes me away
(To where I've always heard it could be)
I heard it could be
(Heard it could be)
Just a dream and a wind to carry me
(Soon I will be free)
Soon I will be free, free
(Sailing takes me away)
(To where I've always heard it could be)
I heard it could be
(I heard it could be)
Just a dream and a wind to carry me
(Soon I will be free)
Soon I will be free, yeah

God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You

Well it's not far down to paradise 
At least it's not for me 
And if the wind is right you can sail away 
And find tranquility 
Oh  the canvas can do miracles 
Just you wait and see 
Baby believe me  oh 
It's not far to Never Never Land 
No reason to pretend 
And if the wind is right you can find the joy 
Of innocence again 
Oh  the canvas can do miracles 
Just you wait and see 
Baby believe me  oh 
Sailing (takes me away) 
Takes me away 
To where I've always heard it could be 
(I heard it could be) 
Just a dream and a wind to carry me 
(Soon I will be free) 
Soon I will be free, yeah 
Fantasy, it gets the best of me 
When I'm sailing, sailing 
All the world in a reverie 
Every word is a symphony 
Won't you believe me, oh 
Sailing (takes me away) 
(Takes me away) 
Takes me away to where I want to be 
(To where I've always heard it could be) 
(I heard it could be) 
Just a dream and a wind to carry me 
(Soon I will be free) 
Soon I will be free 
Well it's not far back to sanity 
At least it's not for me 
And if the wind is right you can sail away 
And find serenity 
Oh, the canvas can do miracles 
Just you wait and see 
Baby believe me, oh 
Sailing (takes me away) 
Takes me away 
(To where I've always heard it could be) 
I heard it could be 
(Heard it could be) 
Just a dream and a wind to carry me 
(Soon I will be free) 
Soon I will be free, free 
(Sailing takes me away) 
(To where I've always heard it could be) 
I heard it could be 
(I heard it could be) 
Just a dream and a wind to carry me 
(Soon I will be free) 
Soon I will be free, yeah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I started loving Nsync ryte after I heard 'em sing this song...fer real. So maybe, i'm not a fan of their other songs, but truth is, it's how they sing it. how they blend, and their vocalizing and stuff...it's good stuff! But this song brings a lot of bittersweet memories...like, an X. =(

NSYNC is a great band and they make great harmonies together, especially with this song. Their voices just blend so great together. This song could put someone to sleep. I think it's one of their best songs.
