lady love , go back to sleep ,   dry the tears from your eyes ,   but i cannot stay with thee ,   until the morning ,   for the dawn is breaking ,   and my ship is waiting for me ,   and i must go ,   but i'll be back , yes ,   before this year is over ;   and we sailed across the sea ,   till we found america ,   'round the cape of storms ,   we set our sails for home ,   and when the sea was roaring ,   and the lord i called ,   to help my drowning men ,   i saw the light , yes , the candle in your window ...   and i have brought you silver ,   and i have brought you gold ,   and spices from the indies in the hold ;   i've seen ships on horizon ,   that i'd swear were going down ,   and now i know for certain ,   the world is round ,   i have seen , my eyes have seen .   oh , one day says galileo ,   a man will reach the sky ,   and see the world completely ,   from outside ,   and gazing down from yonder ,   on a world of blue and green ,   he'll say with eyes of wonder ,   i have seen , my eyes have seen ,   my eyes have seen .
