"The Captain of Her Heart" is a hit single for the Swiss duo Double in 1986. Taken from their 1985 album Blue, the song is a gentle, sophisticated ballad featuring a melancholy, minor-key arrangement and plaintive lyric about a girl waiting in vain for her absent lover to return. Distinguished by its memorable piano motif, soprano saxophone, and smooth baritone vocals, the song was an international success (including in the United States) and has become a radio classic. It reached number eight in the UK Singles Chart and later reached number sixteen on the Billboard Hot 100.
Lyrics
It was way past midnight and she still couldn't fall asleep. This night the dream was leaving she tried so hard to keep. And with the new day's morning she felt it drift away. Not only for a cruise, not only for a day.
Too long ago, too long apart she could not wait another day for the captain of her heart.
As the day came up, she made a stop. She stopped waiting another day for the captain of her heart.
Too long ago, too long apart she could not wait another day for the captain of her heart.
Too long ago, too long apart she could not wait another day for the captain of her heart.
As the day came up, she made a stop. She stopped waiting another day for the captain of her heart.
Too long ago, too long apart she could not wait another day for the captain of her heart.
