Oh, you great ocean so deep
Oh, you ocean so wide
I feel you are my friend, so in you I confide
You know the world, every land, every shore
There's not a place you don't explore
Send every wave as it rolls on it's way
Searching high, searching low
Searching each little bay
Send out a plea to the whole of seven seas
Where is the one I adore?
My friend the sea, be true to me
My love one day sailed far away
My friend the sea, please ask the tide
To bring my love home to my side
Oh, you great ocean so deep,
Oh, you ocean so wide
There are hearts you unite
There are hearts you divide
You know the world
Every river and stream
Look everywhere you've ever been
Ask all the fish as they swim out to sea
Would they pass on the word as a favor to me?
Maybe they'll look out at some little brook
And find the one I adore
My friend the sea, be good to me
My love one day sailed far away
My friend the sea, please ask the tide
To bring my love home to my side
