Lyrics of
Beyond the sea

Beyond the Sea is the English version of the song La Mer, composed by Charles Trenet. Jack Lawrence wrote the English lyrics which, unlike the original French version that talks about the seas eternal beauty, speak of a lover waiting across the sea. The song was recorded by Bobby Darin in 1959 and became one of his biggest hits, epitomizing the swing and big band era.

Somewhere-------beyond the sea Somewhere waiting for me--------
My lover stands on golden sands------
And watches the ships that go sailing

Somewhere-------beyond the sea She's there watching for me-------
If I could fly like birds on high------
Then straight to her arms I'd go sail-----ing

It's far-----------beyond a star 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 as before------
Happy we'll be beyond the sea-----
And never a----gain, I'll go sail-----ing.
