Valparaiso

He was singing about Valparaiso
 Singing as though in a dream
 White sandy beaches
 And warm gentle breeze
 Palm trees that reach to
 The blue southern seas
 And he sang Valparaiso, Valparaiso
 When will the wind blow me down there again
 Valparaiso, Valparaiso
 Softened the heart of a hard-hearted man
 He was singing of days on the ocean
 Of trade winds and rounding the Horn
 Fair winds and foul winds
 Of hard work and ease
 Friends found and lost
 On the great southern seas
 And he sang Valparaiso, Valparaiso
 When will the wind blow me down there again
 Valparaiso, Valparaiso
 Softened the heart of a hard-hearted man
 We all sat in that hushed smokey tavern
 As winter winds raged 'round the door
 Ears keen and listening and eyes far away
 Wishing that we could all go there someday
 And we sang Valparaiso, Valparaiso
 When will the wind blow me down there again
 Valparaiso, Valparaiso
 Softened the heart of a hard-hearted man
