Waking to find myself in the early morning
Looking out my bedroom window at the beach
Enjoying the morning light I saw the most beautiful woman I had ever seen
My maid in a silver gown

I ran outside onto the sand but was the only one there
I walked the beach mile after mile
But still no sign of the one that I seek
Discouragement began to set in but I kept on walking
After a while I stopped and glanced out at the ocean
And dropped my head but when I looked up,
Off in the distance in a little boat I saw her
My maid in a silver gown

I suddenly ran into the surf and started to swim
With every breath looking to still see my fair maid
But when I reached the boat she was gone
As I climbed in and stood up I was blinded by a bright light
And looked down in the water and there she was
My maid in a silver gown

Her hair flowing like the ocean’s waves
And eyes as dark as its unfathomable depths
Then within a second she disappeared yet again
Starting to row, I looked to the shore once more
And as I reached the beach I started my way home
Then once again there she was
My maid in a silver gown

We walked toward each other till we were face to face
When she whispered “I love you.”
Then she kissed me
Waking up soaked in sweat
There was a movement next to me
And in the place that was empty the night before
There she laid sleeping
My maid in a silver gown

I went to sleep and started to dream
Waking to find myself in the early morning
Looking out my bedroom window at the beach
Enjoying the morning light I saw the most beautiful woman I had ever seen
My maid in a silver gown

I ran outside onto the sand but was the only one there
I walked the beach mile after mile
But still no sign of the one that I seek
Discouragement began to set in but I kept on walking
After a while I stopped and glanced out at the ocean
And dropped my head but when I looked up,
Off in the distance in a little boat I saw her
My maid in a silver gown

I suddenly ran into the surf and started to swim
With every breath looking to still see my fair maid
But when I reached the boat she was gone
As I climbed in and stood up I was blinded by a bright light
And looked down in the water and there she was
My maid in a silver gown

Her hair flowing like the ocean’s waves
And eyes as dark as its unfathomable depths
Then within a second she disappeared yet again
Starting to row, I looked to the shore once more
And as I reached the beach I started my way home
Then once again there she was
My maid in a silver gown

We walked toward each other till we were face to face
When she whispered “I love you.”

Waking up soaked in sweat

And in the place that was empty the night before
There she laid sleeping
