Oh, my brother you You see in me An example of what you can be My little one, you're the one who teaches me How to be more patient and forgiving And I try, but you won't see me Oh, I cry Separated by the sea Oh, guess it runs in the family We see grandeur in people we just meet And sometimes its not what it seems Remember you heard it from me And I try but you won't see me Oh, I cry Separated by the sea And I know I should've been there Know I should've been there Know I should've been there Know I should've been there Know I should've been there Know I should've been there Know I should've been there But please forgive me Selfish little me Shallow is my heart Swallowed by the sea Selfish little me
