Ocean Deep
Cliff Richard Lyrics

Love, can't you see I'm alone
The singer is pleading for love and attention because he is alone.

Can't you give this fool a chance
He is willing to make himself vulnerable and be called a fool just for the chance of receiving love.

A little love is all I ask
All he requires is a little amount of love and affection.

A little kindness in the night
He wishes for someone to show him compassion and tenderness during lonely nights.

Please don't leave me behind
He is scared of being left alone.

No, don't tell me love is blind
He doesn't want to believe that love is blind and hopeless.

Ooh love, I've been searchin' so long
The singer has been searching for love for a long time.

I've been searchin' high and low
He has been looking for love in all places possible.

And little love is all I ask
He still only wants a small amount of love, despite this prolonged search.

A little sadness when you go
He is willing to endure a little bit of sadness when his love leaves.

Maybe you'll need a friend
He is hopeful that his love interest will need a friend or partner.

Only please don't let's pretend
However, he doesn't want them to pretend or fake their emotions.

I wanna spread my wings
He wants to be free and explore life just like a bird.

But I just can't fly
But unfortunately he feels trapped and cannot fly.

As a string of pearls
He compares women to a string of pearls, who all look beautiful as they pass by.

The pretty girls go sailin' by
He notices the many beautiful women who pass him by without noticing him.

Ocean deep
The depth of his loneliness and despair is vast and metaphorically compared to the ocean.

I'm so afraid to show my feelings
He is terrified of being vulnerable and showing his true emotions.

I have sailed a million ceilings
He has explored and experienced many different approaches to finding love.

Solitary room
He is confined to a lonely and solitary room.

Will I ever find a lover
He is questioning if he will ever find someone to share his love with.

Maybe she has found another
However, he worries that someone else may have already found his potential love interest.

And as I cry myself to sleep
He is alone, sad and cries himself to sleep at night.

I know this love of mine I'll keep
Despite all the hardships, he is determined to hold onto his love.

Now, can't you hear when I call
He is still hoping for someone to hear him when he calls for love.

Can't you hear a word I say
He wishes to be heard and understood by someone.

A little feelin' when we touch
He desires for a loving connection and feeling when he touches his love.

Why am I still alone
He is questioning why he still has not found a partner or love in his life.

I've got a heart without a home
He feels without a place to belong and with no loving home in his heart.

I'm so lonely, lonely, lonely
He is isolated and extremely lonely.

This love of mine
He is dedicated to his search for true love.

I'll be ocean deep
His search for love will be as difficult as the ocean is deep.

In my room
He is confined to his lonely room, deep in thought and yearning for love.
