I sat down by the sea and it whispered to me It brought back an old love affair that used to be It told me that you had found someone new And lead me to cry over you Whispering sea rolling by why don't you listen to me cry? I cry because my love has proved untrue Oh, how I love him so, no one will ever know No one but the drifting, whispering sea Well, I thought I'd left behind all his love but I was blind I should have known that there was no use to be caring I thought a new love I would find, that you'd never cross my mind But the whispering sea, it talked to me Whispering sea rolling by why don't you listen to me cry I cry because my love has proved untrue Oh, how I love him so, no one will ever know No one but the drifting, whispering sea
