VERSE 01: Somewhere over there by the Sapphire Sea,/The whispering palms trees are calling me;/To skies ever blue, there alone with you,/Is where I am longing to be./The world we’ll forget, and your lips and eyes,/Will show me the way to love’s paradise,/To, that land of summertime far away,/I’m going to take you someday. CHORUS: Merrily we’ll sail upon the Sapphire Sea,/To a little isle where happy we will be./Where moon beams bright,/Kiss you each night/Beside the silver waves we’ll be together./While the stars are shining thru the waving palms,/Sweetheart, I will hold you in my loving arms./And life will seem,/Just like a dream, with you beside the Sapphire Sea. VERSE 02: On that sunny island, the roses rare,/Are blooming to give us a welcome there;/And we’ll be alone, in a world out own,/Forgetting all trouble and care,/We’ll watch by the sea while the sails go by,/Till stars shine above in the ev’ning sky,/You’ll rest in my arms while the moon beams bright,/And dream thru the midsummer night. | |
