By the North Sea Lyrics by Eric Coates

0

Our cheeks were wet with North Sea spray
\nWe walked where tide and shingle meet;
\nThe tawny waves from far away
\nPurred in their ripples at our feet
\nAnd as we walked it seemed to me
\nThat three old friends had met that day
\nThe old, old sky, the old, old sea
\nAnd Love which is as old as they
\n
\nMark well that day, dear heart of mine
\nThe grey below, the gold above
\nFor so the greyest life may shine
\nAll golden in the rays of love!
\nIt's me to you and you to me
\nAnd three old friends have met today
\nThe old, old sky, the old, old sea
\nAnd Love which is as old as they\n\n
