I Tell the Sea Lyrics
I stand on the shore
As we did once before
And I tell the sea
Bring her back to me
I look at the sky
Think of the time we said goodbye
And I tell the sea
Bring her back to me
Every day I just sit and watch the wave roll by
In the hope that I see my love before I die
Every day I just wonder what I'll do, what I'll do
For I know that, in my heart, I love only you
I stand on the shore
As we did once before
And I tell the sea
Bring her back to me
Every day I just sit and watch the wave roll by
In the hope that I see my love before I die
Every day I just wonder what I'll do, what I'll do
For I know that, in my heart, I love only you
I know in my heart, I love only you
As we did once before
And I tell the sea
Bring her back to me
I look at the sky
Think of the time we said goodbye
And I tell the sea
Bring her back to me
Every day I just sit and watch the wave roll by
In the hope that I see my love before I die
Every day I just wonder what I'll do, what I'll do
For I know that, in my heart, I love only you
I stand on the shore
As we did once before
And I tell the sea
Bring her back to me
Every day I just sit and watch the wave roll by
In the hope that I see my love before I die
Every day I just wonder what I'll do, what I'll do
For I know that, in my heart, I love only you
I know in my heart, I love only you
