Long ago But it seems like yesterday It happened the strangest way My first love affair
Summer day I swimming alone in the ocean When suddenly I get a notion That someone was watching So I turned to see who was there
I saw this beautiful lady, beautiful lady Only a heartbeat away from me Two seashell earrings were all that she wore She was smiling and saying to me
Come my way I'll show you my home in the ocean And stranger if you get a notion That you like to love me So just do what you feel Do what you feel
Oh Mermaid.. Mermaid I love you but I'm afraid Part fish... part girl I don't fit your world
Oh Mermaid.. Mermaid I love you but I'm afraid Part fish... part girl Ooo.....
She put her sweet arms around me, sweet arms around me Never so gently she put me down Next thing I knew was the soft ocean floor And the first taste of love that I found
Let me stay I'll live in your home in the ocean I'll give you my love and devotion But she turned and told me You must go back and find A girl of your kind So I left her behind And the ocean reminds me
Oh Mermaid.. Mermaid It's a true love that we made Part fish... part girl I still miss your world
