Lyrics
the sound of the ocean
well i could live on the sound of the ocean
i could live on the smell of the sea
& i could live on the sun on the horizon
but i would die if i knew you did?nt love me
if i knew you did?nt love me
i could live on the smell of your perfume
i could live on the touch of your hair
i could live on the way that you look at me
but i would die if i knew you would?nt be there
if i knew you would?nt be there
i don?t want to know
i don?t even care
all i need is the sound of the ocean
i don?t want to know
i don?t even care
all i need is the sound of the ocean
take me back, to long ago
when you held on tight
and said don?t ever let me go
well i could live on the sound of the ocean
i could live on the smell of your sweet perfume
and i could live on the way that you look at me
but i would die if i knew you didn't love me
refrain
take me back, to way back when
when we held each other tight
and said we?d never love again
refrain
