Beyond the Sea Lyrics
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailin'
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I'd go sailing
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
So long sailing
Bye bye sailing
Does anyone else think the lyrics are about death, love, and the afterlife?
@zeeb I know you wrote this remark many years ago, but I totally agree! I thought I was nuts but this is exactly what this song brings to mind for me...one part of a couple dying, the other knowing they are waiting for him 'beyond the sea', and that they will be together again in the afterlife. If you and I see it that way, then I am sure others do as well! Such a beautiful song, I love Bobby Darin's version the most.

I don't know when this song came out, but it seems like a World War 2 song to me. He's singing it for the soldiers across the Atlantic or Pacific, who just want to be home with the girl they love. Beautiful.
i think this song is talking about how there's his soul mate waiting for him and how he's looking for her (sailing) and when he finds her he wont have to look (sail) anymore

Yes, it’s a song about love, and a song about the sea, but more fundamentally it’s a song about hope. Beyond the joyous brass section, swinging bass, and upbeat drum track is merely a man who is alone. But he is not cynical or angry. He has a faith in things unseen, an earnest belief in the gold-speckled future that lies ahead. By the end, you can’t help but believe his prayers will be answered
Very, very classy song. One of these days I'm gonna shock the color out of my wife's skin and sing this on karoake for her.
This song is such a classic, It's great Has anyone seen "beyond the sea" ? It's a movie all about Bobby Darin's life. It's really good. Everyone go out and buy/rent it! Safe!
just a classy love song! didn't robbie williams sing it for the film finding nemo?
This song really was a nice touch to the game Bioshock. It can be heard on the commercial and also on a jukebox while you are running around exploring.
This song was originally written in 1943 as "La Mer" by a Frenchman named Charles Trenet. An American named Jack Lawrence wrote new English lyrics to it and re-named it "Beyond the Sea".
I don't know, it seems like a depressing song.
It's a guy who will give up everything for his woman, even his love for the sea.
The guy sacrifices his happiest pass-time for love.
Poor guy...
