Mermaid

Long ago

But it seem like yesterday

It happen the strangest way

My first love affair

Summer day

I'm swimming alone in the ocean

When suddenly I got a notion

That someone was watching

And I turned to see who was there

I saw this beautiful lady

Beautiful lady

Only a heartbeat away from me

Two seashell earrings were all that she wore

She was smilling and saying to me

Come away

I'll show you my home in the ocean

And stranger if you get a notion

That you'd like to love me

Well just do what you feel

Do what you feel

Oh, mermaid, mermaid

I want you but I'm afraid

Part fish part girl

I don't fit your world

Mermaid mermaid

I want you but I'm afraid

Part fish part girl

Oh

She put her sweet arms around me

Sweet arms around me

Ever so gently she put me down

Next thing I knew that soft ocean floor

And the first taste of love that I found

Oh

Let me stay

I'll live in your home in the ocean

I'll give you my love and devotion

But suddenly she told me

You must go back and find

A girl of your kind

So I left her behind

Now the ocean remind me of

Mermaid, mermaid

It's true love that we made

Part fish part girl

I still miss your world

Mermaid, mermaid

It's true love that we made

Part fish part girl

I still miss your world
