About Beyond the Sea

"Beyond the Sea" is a 1946 contemporary pop song with music taken from the song "La Mer" by Charles Trenet and lyrics by Jack Lawrence. Trenet had composed "La Mer" (which means "The Sea") with French lyrics totally different and unrelated to the English language version that Lawrence composed. Trenet's French version was an homage and ode to the changing moods of the sea, while Lawrence, by just adding one word "Beyond" to the title, gave him the start whereby he made the song into one of a lover pining for a lost love.[1] .

Beyond the Sea Lyrics

[00:06.63] Somewhere beyond the sea
[00:11.88] Somewhere waiting for me
[00:16.24] My lover stands on golden sands
[00:21.09] And watches the ships that go sailing
[00:27.13] Somewhere beyond the sea
[00:32.24] She's there watching for me
[00:36.88] If I could fly like birds on high
[00:41.55] Then straight to her arms, I'd go sailing
[00:47.33] It's far beyond a star
[00:52.64] It's near beyond the moon
[00:58.09] I know beyond a doubt
[01:02.85] My heart will lead me there soon
[01:08.15] We'll meet beyond the shore
[01:13.08] We'll kiss just as before
[01:17.73] Happy we'll be beyond the sea
[01:22.52] And never again, I'll go sailing
[01:29.68]
[01:59.02] I know beyond a doubt
[02:05.34] My heart will lead me there soon
[02:10.27] We'll meet, I know we'll meet beyond the shore
[02:15.53] We'll kiss just as before
[02:20.03] Happy we'll be beyond the sea
[02:24.83] And never again, I'll go sailing
[02:32.21] No more sailing
[02:36.07] So long, sailing
[02:39.03] Bye-bye, sailing
[02:42.73] Goodbye, Captain
[02:44.50]
