I saw a ship a sailing
On the ocean blue
I ran right down to the ocean side
In hopes that it was you

So long ago you left me
To sail to a foreign land
But when that ship went sailing by
My hopes dropped to the sand

Seabreeze ocean wave
Bring my lover please
Turn her sails toward my heart
And bring her back to me

--- Instrumental ---

The rising sun reminds me
Of the day she had to go
She set her sails to the morning tide
And filled my heart with woe

She told me when she left me
She'd sail to many shores
But her heart, her dreams would always be
With the one that she loved so
--- Instrumental ---

Seabreeze ocean wave
Bring my lover please
Turn her sails toward my heart
And bring her back to me

Bring her back to me
Bring her back to me...
