"Happy For The Holidays"

We sailed away one mid-December eve
To see the Christmas lights out at sea
Take a little tour, then a shopping spree
Before the hurricane of family

I saw the waves when they began to rise
I heard the wind start to whistle and moan
Now here we are on this deserted isle
You, me, all alone

Shipwrecked and happy for the holidays
You and me, the sea, and the gentle waves
No one here to catch us when we misbehave
Shipwrecked and happy for the holidays

We brush the cool sand beneath our toes
And see how carelessly the palm tree grows
No other humans for at least a mile
I guess we're gonna have to stay awhile

Santa, if you find us when you're passing by
Twinkle the stars like Christmas lights
Part the clouds so we can see the moon
But don't send a rescue quite so soon

Shipwrecked and happy for the holidays
You and me, the sea, and the gentle waves
No one here to catch us when we misbehave
Shipwrecked and happy for the holidays

I thought that you would miss the falling snow
I thought you'd be lost without the mistletoe
We'd long to hear the sound when carolers sing
But we don't miss any of those things

Shipwrecked and happy for the holidays
You and me, the sea, and the gentle waves
No one here to catch us when we misbehave
Shipwrecked and happy for the holidays

Shipwrecked and happy for the holidays
You and me, the sea, and the gentle waves
No one here to catch us when we misbehave
Shipwrecked and happy for the holidays

Shipwrecked and happy for the holidays
