 Verse
-------

                           
They bought a round for the sailor

                   
and they heard his tale

      ----   
of a world that was so far away

                          
and a song that we'd never heard

                 
a song of a little bird

                        
that fell in love with a whale

Verse
-----
                                
He said, 'You cannot live in the ocean

                
and she said to him

    ----   
you never can live in the sky

                           
but the ocean is filled with tears

                       
and the sea turns into a mirror

                                    
there's a whale in the moon when it's clear
                 
and a bird on the tide

chorus
------
           
Please don't cry

              
let me dry your eyes

Verse
-----
                       
so tell me that you will wait for me

                
hold me in your arms

   ----   
I promise we never will part

                          
I'll never sail back to the time

                             
but I'll always pretend you're mine

                              
though I know that we both must part

                  
you can live in my heart

chorus
------
           
Please don't cry

              
let me dry your eyes

Verse
-----
                        
and tell me that you will wait for me

                
hold me in your arms

   ----   
I promise we never will part

                          
I'll never sail back to the time

                                  
but I'll always pretend that you're mine

                       
I know that we both must part

                  
you can live in my heart
