MY FRIEND THE SEA
Petula Clark


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
Searchin' high, searchin' low
Searchin' 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 riddle, mountain, stream
Look every where 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 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
