The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
My Love, my love is a mountain side
So firm, so firm it can comb the tide
My love for you is a mountain side
Stand so firm it can comb the tide
That's why my love, my love is a mountain side
My love, my love is an ocean's roll
So strong, so strong that I can't let you go
My love for you is an ocean's roll
Grows so long that I can't let you go
That's why my love, my love is an ocean's roll
My love is longer than forever
Endless as the march of time
99 years after never
In my heart you'll still be mine
Cause my love, my love is a deep blue sea
So deep, so deep that I'll never be free
My love for you is a deep blue sea
Grown so strong that I'll never be free
That's why my love, my love is a deep blue sea
My love, my love is a deep blue sea
My love, my love is a deep blue sea
My love, my love is a deep blue sea
So firm, so firm it can comb the tide
My love for you is a mountain side
Stand so firm it can comb the tide
That's why my love, my love is a mountain side
My love, my love is an ocean's roll
So strong, so strong that I can't let you go
My love for you is an ocean's roll
Grows so long that I can't let you go
That's why my love, my love is an ocean's roll
My love is longer than forever
Endless as the march of time
99 years after never
In my heart you'll still be mine
Cause my love, my love is a deep blue sea
So deep, so deep that I'll never be free
My love for you is a deep blue sea
Grown so strong that I'll never be free
That's why my love, my love is a deep blue sea
My love, my love is a deep blue sea
My love, my love is a deep blue sea
My love, my love is a deep blue sea
