Lyrics
- Somewhere over there by the Sapphire Sea
The whispering palm 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 some day
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
- On that sunny island, the roses rare
Are blooming to give us a welcome there
And we’ll be alone, in a world our own
Forgetting all trouble and care
We’ll watch by the sea while the sails go by
Till stars shine above in the evening sky
You’ll rest in my arms while the moon beams bright
And dream thru the mid-summer night
