Steamer
Written by - John Scott Sherrill
From - Somewhere Over China
I remember that steamer
The time you set sail
The crowd was steamin', streamin' and
Leanin' on the rail 
Then the big whistle blew 
And I lost my place 
Next thing I knew 
I could not find your face 

I can see myself dramin' 
The time you came home 
Your face was beamin', seemin' 
To stand out alone 

The dinner bell chimed 
And I found my seat 
When your eyes met mine 
Your smile was so sweet

I remember that river 
First time we made love 
Oh, I still kinda shiver a little 
At what I'm thinkin' of 
How your dress it just floated 
All down around your knees 
And I held my breath, my God, my girl

But most of all it's that steamer
The time you set sail
And the crowds always steamin', streamin' and 
Leanin' on the rail 
Then the big whistle blows 
And I always lose my place 
Next thing I know 
I cannot find your face
