Come away, come away, with me.
To the sea, come away, with me.
We’ll walk hand in hand,
as we stroll through the sand,
come away, my love, with me.
Come away, with me, my love.
We’ll dance ‘neath the moon above.
I’ll hold you in my arms,
I’ll use all my charms,
come away, my love, with me.
Come away, marry me, my dear.
Live with me, always, year after year.
We’ll live by the sea,
won’t you please marry me?
Come away, my love with me.
I’ll come away, come away, with you.
Yes I’ll marry you, and say I do.
We’ll walk in the sand,
Our life will be grand.
I’ll come away, my dear, with you.
Come away, with me, my love.
Rest by the sea, with the sun up above.
You’ll feel much better there,
with your family, who all care,
come away, my love, with me.
Come away, with me my love.
Don’t leave yet, stay with me, my love.
I’m not ready to say goodbye,
I’m trying hard not to cry,
stay with me, here by the sea my love.
Love, I can’t come away with you.
I love you, truly I do.
I’ll dream of our lives, by the sea,
and the kids, our whole family,
I’ll watch always, my love, over you.
Remember me, when I’m gone my love,
When we danced ‘neath the moon up above
Where we played with the kids in the sand,
Where we strolled every day hand in hand.
Remember me, by the sea, my love.
Come away with me to the sea,
We’ll walk hand in hand, just you and me.
I’ll show you the places, show you the way,
Where grandma and I used to love to play,
Come away, come away, my love, with me,
come away, come away, to the sea.
