Pat Boey - In the Afterglow Lyrics

Sailing over the seven seas
In search of treasure and magic keys
Shipwrecked somewhere North of East
What I found there was my missing piece
Now I won't ever let my treasure go
Because my treasure is no chest of gold
Sailing through the afterglow
I found you in that island cove
I said to you, Don't let me go
And you held me close in the afterglow
To escape the island we built a raft
Fought off the sharks with our makeshift mast
We looked out on the world so vast
When sunset came, we said, Let's make this last
Now I won't ever let my treasure go
It's the measure of my heart and soul
Because my treasure is no chest of gold
She's my forever and I won't let her go
Sailing through the afterglow
Escaping from that island cove
I say to you, Don't let me go
And you hold me close in the afterglow
Five years on, we were adventure-bound
You tripped and hit your head
Fell overboard and drowned
I pulled you out, said, Please, make a sound
I don't want to lose you when I've just been found
Now I hold onto the afterglow
The nights you showed me your heart and soul
I say to you, I won't let you go
And I hold you close in the afterglow
And I hold you close in the afterglow
I won't let you go
Now I won't ever let my treasure go
Because my treasure is no chest of gold
