Okay, get a grip, get a hang of this flipper It's like slipping two feet into one big huge slipper. This way is left which way is right Oh, now I'll be circling in in circles all night Oh, so this is forward. No problem. I can't believe I can do this and more To swim in the sea like I walk on the shore Out of my shell, not closed up like a clam look out sea, this is me, here I am For a moment all of me Is alive and at home in the sea I'm swirling and twirling, so graceful and grand Not stubbing my toes getting stuck in the sand For a moment life is cool I'm a splash in the world's biggest pool This is more than my thoughts ever thought it could be For a moment, just a moment, lucky me If only for one moment I have shared with you all I know The sea wouldn't be a mystery But why did you have to go? Everything's newer, and brighter and bluer And truer to life than before Watch me soar For a moment I can shine Got a grin and a fin, it works fine My fingers are wrinkly, I really don't care If all my curls are curled out of my hair For a moment I can feel All the dreams I've been dreaming are real Wish my mother could hear it, the sea is my song For a moment, just a moment, I belong I will find you my darling And the moment that I do I'll hold you close, my Melody And sing the song of the sea with you Sing the song of the sea with you For a moment, just a moment, I belong
