Beyond the Sea
Royal Crown Revue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somewhere waitin' for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And she watches the ships that go
Sailin' sailin'
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere watchin' for me
Then straight to your arms
I go sailin'
And somewhere beyond the sea
Well she's there watchin' for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to your arms
I go sailin' sailin'
Well it's far beyond the stars
And it's clear beyond the moon
And I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
And we'll meet I know we'll meet
Beyond the shore and we'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go
Sailin' sailin'
And I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
And we'll meet I know we'll meet
Beyond the shore and we'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go
Sailin'
