Words & Music by Hal Hester & Barry Parker
Recorded by Nat King Cole, 1955 (#23)


G7    C             C/B         A7
If I find peace of mind in the sand and the sea,

  A     A7 Dm         G7               CM7  Em7      A7
There's a hope in my heart that you'll soon be with me;

           F             Fdim           Am          Am+7
There's a prayer that I share with the sand and the sea,

        F             Dm7         C
And it cries "Come to me, come to me."


G7    C                C/B           A7
As my eyes search the skies from the edge of the shore,

 A   A7  Dm         G7         CM7   Em7 A7
You are here in my arms for a moment or more;

        F          Fdim        Am          Am+7
Then a tear rushes down to the sand and the sea,

        F             Dm7         C
And it cries "Come to me, come to me."


G7      Am7            Am+7      Em             B+
But as long as there's sand, as long as there's sea,

    Dm7             G         CM7   Em7         A7
As long as there's time, I'll wait hope - ful - ly;

    Dm              G7    Am Em7   Am7
As long as there's heaven up  a - bove,

Am7/G    F           Am7           Dm7 G  C
Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me.


G7      Am7            Am+7      Em             B+
But as long as there's sand, as long as there's sea,

    Dm7             G         CM7   Em7         A7
As long as there's time, I'll wait hope - ful - ly;

    Dm             G7     Am Em7   Am7
As long as there's heaven up  a - bove,

Am7/G    F           Am7          Dm7  G  C
Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me.
