Down in Bermuda Paradise for two I lost my lover There on the blue We went sailing On a coral sea Starlit waters My darling and me Time was endless Love sang its song We dreamed of tomorrow Now he is gone I see his lips In the coral I see his eyes In the water blue I see his hair In the glowing sunlight A vision clear Calling me near In Bermudan waters Oh, so clear and cold I await my loved one As I grow old I await my loved one As I grow old
