[Verse]

They bought a round for the sailor

and they heard his tale

of a world that was so far away

and a song that we'd never heard

a song of a little bird

that fell in love with a whale

D A7 D

He said, 'You cannot live in the ocean

G A7

and she said to him

you never can live in the sky

A D G

but the ocean is filled with tears

A7 D G

and the sea turns into a mirror

A7 D G

there's a whale in the moon when it's clear

A7 D

and a bird on the tide

[Chorus]

D D7 G

Please don't cry

E E7 A7

let me dry your eyes

[Verse]

so tell me that you will wait for me

hold me in your arms

I promise we never will part

you can live in my heart
