Down where the tradewinds play   Down where they lose the day   We found a new world   Where Paradise starts we traded hearts   The night that I sailed away      Flowers were in her hair   Music was everywhere   Under an awning of silvery boughs we traded vows   The night that I sailed away      Tradewinds, what are vows that lovers make   Tradewinds, are they only made to break      When it is May again   I'll sail away again   Though I am returning it won't be the same   She traded her name   Way down where the tradewinds play      Tradewinds, what are vows that lovers make   Tradewinds, are they only made to break      When it is May again   I'll sail away again   Though I am returning it won't be the same   She traded her name   Way down where the trade winds play
