  • I want to marry a lighthouse keeper
    And keep him company.
    I want to marry a lighthouse keeper
    And live by the side of the sea.
    I'll polish his lamp by the light of day,
    So ships at night can find their way.
    I want to marry a lighthouse keeper,
    Won't that be okay?

    We'll take walks along the moonlit bay,
    Maybe find a treasure, too.
    I'd love living in a lighthouse:
    How about you?

    I dream of living in a lighthouse, baby,
    Every single day.
    I dream of living in a lighthouse,
    A white one by the bay.
    So if you want to make my dreams come true,
    Go be a lighthouse keeper, do!
    We could live in a lighthouse,
    A white one by the bay-ay-hay.

    Won't that be okay?
    Ya-da ta-da-da. Writer/s: ERIKA EIGEN
