Looking Glass Sea Lyrics

Sweetheart, say you love me
I'll fly you to the moon
The choir of stars above me
Will sing out our favourite tune
A rhythm divine if you're so inclined
The perfect melody

We'll go down to the water
And sail on a looking glass sea

Sweetheart, be my honey
A lily a la lune
The fire flies above me
A will of the whisp, a lovely perfume
A vision in white, a flame in the night
In perfect harmony

We'll go down to the water
And sail on a looking glass sea

Throw out the rope and cast a drift
See where the midnight hour takes us
Be the captain of my ship
And hoist the anchor with a kiss

Sweetheart, say you love me
I'll fly you to the moon
The choir of stars above me
Will sing out our favourite tune
A rhythm divine if you're so inclined
The perfect melody

We'll go down to the water
Down to the water, and sail on a looking glass sea

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
