Whispering Sea Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I sat down by the sea and it whispered to me
It brought back an old love affair that used to be
It told me that you had found someone new
And left me to cry over you

[Chorus]
Whispering sea rolling by, now don't you listen to me cry
I cry as though my heart is broke in two
Oh, how I love him so, no one will ever know
No one but the drifting, whispering sea

[Verse 2]
Well, I thought I'd left behind all his love, but I was blind
I should have known that there was no use to pretend
I thought a new love I would find
And you would never cross my mind
But the whispering sea, it talked to me

[Chorus]
Whispering sea rolling by, now don't you listen to me cry
I cry as though my heart is broke in two
Oh, how I love him so, no one will ever know
No one but the drifting, whispering sea
No one but the drifting, whispering sea

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 [?]
