Hands Across the Sea Lyrics

Come with me
Close your eyes and touch what greets you there
Reaching out
Stretch your hands across the sea
Come with me
Close your eyes and touch what meets you there
Reaching out
Stretch your hands across the sea

Sitting in my room, nothing much to say
I heard you calling a thousand miles away
I did not mean to hurt you, you took me by surprise
There is still a chance if we just close our eyes

Ooh, lady

Come with me
Close your eyes and touch what greets you there
Reaching out
Stretch your hands across the sea
Come with me
Close your eyes and touch what meets you there
Reaching out
Stretch your hands across the sea

I can't explain this feeling
I won't begin to try
There is still a chance if we just close our eyes

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
