Lyrics
ACROSS 1000 OCEANS © 2004 Kevin Mahan
Across a thousand oceans
Beyond the stars above
Lies the story of a man and a women
they were so in love
She came from the east
He lived in the west
The trade winds blew so warm and sweet
and their hearts caressed
And they danced and sang
they were passionate and free
Blind to all around them they thought
Love?s, destiny
was theirs for free
would forever be
Across a thousand oceans
Beyond the stars above
Two hearts were joined, one love was formed
and they bathed in love
Oh but the summer breeze
Turned to a winter freeze.
This time the winds were cold and fierce
and their hearts got pieced.
Back into their worlds
They drifted separately
Now they wait and dream and flowing
Back on out to sea
In reality
it will never be.
Across a thousand ocean
Beyond the stars above
Two souls remember the gift they were given
they remember love
