You live on the other side of the sea 
I know you and I will never meet 
I’m kind of embarrassed to say 
I think about you every day 

Belinda, Belinda, I wish you lived near me 

You have a self effacing charm 
Your smile and sense of play are warm 
Although it’s only what I see 
I wish we could sit down for tea 

Belinda, Belinda, I wish you lived near me 

I get sense of your intellect 
Your sarcasm and your quick wit 
But that’s just what I see you project 
Watching you on my TV set 

Belinda, Belinda, I wish you lived near me 

I know you will not be alone 
May God bless you with a happy home 
And should you ever need a cheer 
Know that your presence crosses the sea, dear 

Belinda, Belinda, I wish you lived near me
