Lovely Cruise Lyrics
Drink it up
This ones for you
It's been a lovely cruise
I'm sorry it's ended
It's sad but it's true
Honey it's been a lovely cruise
These moments were left with
May you always remember
These moments are shared by few
There's wind in our hair
And there's water in our shoes
Honey, it's been a lovely cruise
These moments we're left with
May you always remember
These moments are shared by few
And those harbor lights
Aw they're coming into view
We bid our farwell much too soon
So drink it up
This one's for you
Honey, it's been a lovely cruise
Yea baby, it's been a lovely cruise
Oh darlin' it's been a lovely cruise
This ones for you
It's been a lovely cruise
I'm sorry it's ended
It's sad but it's true
Honey it's been a lovely cruise
May you always remember
These moments are shared by few
There's wind in our hair
And there's water in our shoes
Honey, it's been a lovely cruise
May you always remember
These moments are shared by few
And those harbor lights
Aw they're coming into view
We bid our farwell much too soon
So drink it up
This one's for you
Honey, it's been a lovely cruise
Yea baby, it's been a lovely cruise
Oh darlin' it's been a lovely cruise

With “wind in our hair and water in our shoes “ for me it conjures up the image of a day cruise out on a smaller craft to enjoy a day sail with a love and a bottle of wine
this seems to be a song about ending something... either a relationship or a life. I could totally see this played at a funeral! anyone else agree?
I agree with you but I think this song can also use to reminisce romantic moments with a loved one.
To play it in a funeral could be to much, just my opinion.
uh, i feel like you guys aren't taking it literally enough. as a songwriter myself, this seems way too easily inspired by a literal cruise--and god knows jimmy buffett's the kind of guy who'd be on one--and he met someone on the cruise, they hit it off, and then the last day or so rolled up and it hit him like a ton of bricks that it was ending. so maybe he wrote the song thereupon, or maybe he wrote it later and placed the song in the present tense. either way, as brilliant a songwriter as jimmy is, i can't imagine this being a metaphorical cruise. gorgeous song, though, especially played acoustically. one of his best serenades.
