A Mermaid’s Song
Today I met a mermaid
The daughter of the queen
Her eyes were brown
Her hair was blue
Her tail was emerald green
She told me she was looking
For her palace deep below
She was tired and lost
And didn't feel like searching all alone
Wa, wa, sang the water
Ooh, ooh, sang the moon
Ah, ah, sighed the starfish
With the mermaid who sang
Please come with me
Will you come with me?
I need a friend and
I hope that friend is you
Will you come with me?
She sang, will you come with me
I’ve got my hands out
And I'm waiting for you
"I'd like to come" I said, "but how?"
She whispered, "close your eyes"
And when I did, I felt a change
Coming from inside
The ocean seemed like home to me
And suddenly I knew
When I looked down I saw a tail
I was a mermaid, too!
Wa, wa, sang the water
Ooh, ooh, sang the moon
Ah, ah, sighed the starfish
With the mermaid who sang
Please come with me
Will you come with me?
I need a friend and
I hope that friend is you
Will you come with me?
She sang, will you come with me?
I’ve got my hands out
And I'm waiting for you
I took those hands
And we swam down (Down, down, down)
And on the ocean floor we found
A golden, glittering Mermaid's crown
She picked it up and smiled wide
Then I saw her palace in the undersea light
Covered in coral and crystals so bright
It was the most amazing sight
Wa, wa, sang the water
Ooh, ooh, sang the moon
Ah, ah, sighed the starfish
With the mermaid who sang
You came with me
Yes, you came with me
I have a new friend and I'm so glad it's you
'Cause you came with me, she sang
Yes, you came with me
Now hold your hands out
I've got something for you
In my hands, she placed a pearl
And said, "Remember me"
I hugged her tight, then waved good-bye
And swam back through the sea
When I arrived above the waves
I saw my tail was gone
But I knew I would not forget
The mermaid and her song
Wa, wa, sang the water
Ooh, ooh, sang the moon
Ah, ah, sighed the starfish
And I was singing too
Yes, I came with you
Yes, I came with you
You are my friend now and I'll remember you
