Cross an Ocean

Cross an Ocean 

***

We went to the mountains 

Climbed to the top 

I called out your name 

Til you begged me to stop 

We ran in the valley

We rolled in the hay

We tumbled with laughter 

Like children at play

I would cross an ocean

If I thought it would 

Bring me closer to you

I would cross an oceaBecause there's no way 

I could live without you

They say that I'm crazy

They say that I'm blind

I live with your image 

Embedded in my mind

If it takes me forever 

For the rest of my life

I'll find me a way 

To make you my wife

I would cross an ocean

If I thought it would 

Bring me closer to you

I would cross an ocean 

Because there's no way 

I could live without you

Well I go to the Ocean 

Build me a boat

I'd pray to the Lord 

That the boat

Would float

Captain through rainstorms 

find you somehow 

Cause theres no happy man

Feels what I'm feeling now

I would cross an ocean 

If I thought it would bring 

Me closer to you 

I would cross an ocean

There's no way 

I could Live without you
