Girl across the sea
Once when we were young
We met on the beach, in the sun
Me a bashful guy
She a British girl
We had both arrived,
From different worlds
Chorus
I wonder where she is
Did she find the life she had dreamed of
Back then we both were kids
Now the years have passed, we are older
I wonder would she still, know its me
Passed her everyday
Everywhere I'd go
Couldn't find the nerve to say hello
Till at last her friends
Stood her at my side
Then I finally gazed, into her eyes
Chorus

Eyes that are so bright
A face that is so fair
The way you clasp your hands
Toss your hair
As you read your lines
Remembering to smile
I wish that I could be with you awhile
Chorus
Are you only pretty on TV
Is your heart as gentle as it seems
Do you only play the part
When you're on the screen
Are you only pretty on TV
Chorus
No need to rehearse
Leave your script behind
Tell me 'bout whatever's on your mind
If I made you laugh
Would that be enough
Do you search for money or for love
Chorus

I pass you every night, as I'm going home
You're always on your porch alone
Seems that you'd like to chat
But you're much too shy
Oh can't you see that so am I
Chorus
I could bring you autumn flowers
Though the summer passed us by
Maybe love could still be ours
If you'd only let us try
You walk up next to me
At the grocery store
Just say hello and nothing more
Seem's that you'd like to chat
But you're much too shy
Oh, can't you see that so am I
Chorus
I guess your friends have gone
Worn their wedding gowns
Let you alone here in this town
Though it may seem too late
No romance in sight
Yet I could truly be your guy
