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,
He's (She's) there watching for me.
If I could fly like birds on high,
Then straight to his (her) arms I'd go sailing.
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 again I'll go sailing!

Album: Strictly Foxtrot & Quickstep
Song Length: 4:51
George's Thoughts: I love this song, but find the singer's voice on "Strictly Foxtrot" to be tuneless and grating. If you can find a better version, go with it. Note that several versions are much too fast. It's hard to find one that's just right for dancing.
