Heart of the Ocean



As she enters the boat sad to leave
Who knew that fate would let them meet
She found her true love at sea
On the ship that couldn't sink
At least that's what people think
As the unbelieveable happens and the ship begins to go under
Chaos breaks loose and minds start to blunder
But all is well with her because he's still here
They're out on the ocean almost too dark to see
The stars are bright and she starts to sing
He makes her promise she'll live if he dosen't
He dies peacefully but she does not see
The ships are back she yells to him
But death has taken him as quietly as the night
She cries as she says oh why? oh why?
But she lives to keep the promise she made
And she lives to this very day
Tonight she will return to the sea
To be with her love and they will forever be the heart of the ocean
