CHRISTOPHER CROSS SAILING
iling is a number-one single, written and performed by Christopher Cross on his 1980 eponymous debut album. The song was a phenomenal success, winning Grammy Awards for Song of the Year, Arrangement of the Year, and helping Cross win the Best New Artist award. VH1 named this the greatest "soft rock" music song of all time. The lyrics describe the joys of sailing.
It was a number-one rated single in the United States. Since its debut, it has been covered by many artists, including Avant, Barry Manilow, Big Bub, 'N Sync, and Phajja.
The song was one of the first digitally recorded songs, utilizing the 3M digital recording system [1]
The Mexican airline AeroMéxico used the theme during the middle 1980s as a jingle for its advertisements; it was also used for the cigarette brand Winston.
Well, it's not far down to paradise At least it's not for me And if the wind is right you can sail away Find tranquility Oh, the canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see Be with me
It's not far to never never land No reason to pretend And if the wind is right you can find the joy Of innocence again Oh, the canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see You'll be with me
[Refrain] Sailing Takes me away To where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free
Fantasy It gets the best of me When I'm sailing All caught up in the reverie Every word is a symphony Won't you believe me
[Repeat Refrain]
Well, it's not far back to sanity At least it's not for me And when the wind is right you can sail away Find serenity Oh, the canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see Then you'll believe me
