     Eb       Bb            Eb 
They bought a round for the sailor 
         Ab        Bb 
and they heard his tale 
     Eb                     Ab 
of a world that was so far away 
      Bb             Eb    Ab 
And a song that we'd never heard 
  Bb        Eb     Ab 
A song of a little bird 
             Bb          Eb        Bb 
that fell in love with a whale 
			
He said: You cannot live in the ocean 
And she said to him: 
You never can live in the sky 
But the ocean is filled with tears 
And the sea turns into a mirror 
and there's a whale in the moon when it's clear 
and a bird on the tide 
			
    Eb     Eb7/Db Ab/C 
Oh, please don't  cry 
       F   Cm/Eb Bb/D 
Let me dry your  eyes 
			
So tell me that you will wait for me 
Hold me in your arms 
I promise we never will part 
I'll never sail back to the time 
But I'll always pretend you're mine 
Though I know that we both must part 
You can live in my heart 
			
Oh, please don't cry 
Let me dry your eyes 
			
And tell me that you will wait for me 
Hold me in your arms 
I promise we never will part 
I'll never sail back to the time 
But I'll always pretend that you're mine 
I know that we both must part 
You can live in my heart 

Lyrics

They bought a round for the sailor
And they heard his tale
Of a world that was so far away
And a song that we'd never heard
A song of a little bird
That fell in love with a whale

He said, 'You cannot live in the ocean'
And she said to him
'You never can live in the sky'
But the ocean is filled with tears
And the sea turns into a mirror
There's a whale in the moon when it's clear
And a bird on the tide

Please don't cry
Let me dry your eyes

So tell me that you will wait for me
Hold me in your arms
I promise we never will part
I'll never sail back to the time
But I'll always pretend you're mine
Though I know that we both must part
You can live in my heart

Please don't cry
Let me dry your eyes

And tell me that you will wait for me
Hold me in your arms
I promise we never will part
I'll never sail back to the time
But I'll always pretend that you're mine
I know that we both must part
You can live in my heart
