You were there
by my side
we were leaving
with the tide
on the ferry ride
of Dover-Calais
As we sailed
on to France
we confirmed
our romance
in the summer night
on Dover-Calais
A rhythm breaks the silence
it's the beat of our hearts
An unmistaken harmony
The white cliffs of Dover
to the shores of Calais
This night was made
for you and me
while we were
crossing the sea
You were there
by my side
we were leaving
with the tide
on the ferry ride
of Dover-Calais
As we sailed
on to France
we confirmed
our romance
in the summer night
on Dover-Calais
A wind from the horizon
when the sun goes down
I comfort you
and hold you tight
So precious every moment
we remember this night
cause finally we've realized
it's so good and so right
You were there
by my side
we were leaving
with the tide
on the ferry ride
of Dover-Calais
As we sailed
on to France
we confirmed
our romance
in the summer night
on Dover-Calais
Not even a great wish
can prevent a tale
from reaching an end
But we understand though
that as lovers we can
live or pretend
You were there
by my side
we were leaving
with the tide
on the ferry ride
of Dover-Calais
As we sailed
on to France
we confirmed
our romance
in the summer night
on Dover-Calais
