When I was a young boy Growing up in Portugal The ocean was my home And my heart was in the ocean The Atlantic ocean is the greatest of many seas And up to this day I have all the memories
Watch the waves of the ocean And the sky so blue Feel the breeze from the sea That's what I wish to do Keep all the memories Closer to my heart So I'm going back to live forever by the ocean side
When I woke up In my house with the ocean view I watch the waves break down And the colours were white and blue As I grew up I never realised What I had back there Is a garden paradise
Watch the waves of the ocean And the sky so blue Feel the breeze from the sea That's what I wish to do Keep all the memories Closer to my heart So I'm going back to live forever by the ocean side
When I left my country In 1972 I left my house And the ocean I always knew I also left my heart In the middle of the sea If my heart is there, That's the place where I should be
Watch the waves of the ocean And the sky so blue Feel the breeze from the sea That's what I wish to do Keep all the memories Closer to my heart So I'm going back to live forever by the ocean side
