I LOVE YOU - WITHOUT REASON
REASON…THE CAPTAIN OF MY SHIP
HAS STEERED ME THROUGH
THE MOST VICIOUS WINDS
AND STIFFENING GALES.
REASONS…THE CAPTAIN OF MY SHIP
HAS TAKEN ME OVER
THE MOUNTAIN WALLS
OF OCEAN AND SEAS.
REASON…THE CAPTAIN OF MY SHIP
HAS GUIDED MY WAY IN
THE DARKEST NIGHTS
AND BRIGHTEST DAYS.
REASON…THE CAPTAIN OF MY SHIP
HAS NEVER LED ME TO
THE ISLAND SHORES
OF YOUR LOVE.
