Beyond the Sea
Flavio Mendes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailin'
Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
I'd go sailin'
It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just lik before
Happy we'll feel beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailin'
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the shore
We'll kiss just like before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailin'
No more sailin'
So long sailin'
Bye bye sailin'...
Move on out captain
