MERMAID – TATSURO YAMASHITA

Long ago, but it seems like yesterday
It happened the strangest way my first love affair
Summer day, I swimming alone in the ocean
When suddenly I get 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 smiling and saying to me
Come my way, I’ll show you my home in the ocean
And stranger if you get a notion, that you like to love me
Well just do what you feel, do what you feel

Reff :
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, ooo…

She put her sweet arms around me, sweet arms around me
Never so gently she put me down
Next thing I knew was the soft ocean floor
And the first taste of love that I found, ooo…

Let me stay, I’ll live in your home in the ocean
I’ll give you my love and devotion
But sadly she told me
You must go back and find … a girl of your kind
So I left her behind and the ocean reminds me

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
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
