Analysis of I'm waiting for your love to come to me from way over the great big blue sea
I'm waiting for your love to come to me
from way over the great big blue sea
it will ride the cotton clouds in the sky
amongst the sparkling stars up high
and your love will rain a million smiles
as it surfs the winds over many miles
the love will swim with the dolphins
while the ocean is split from their fins
and over lands on the wings of a dove
gliding free bringing your beautiful love
as i wait for your love to come to me
from way over the great big blue sea
