NAT KING COLE
-Artist: Nat King Cole -peak Billboard position # 23 in 1955 -Words and Music by Hal Hester and Barry Parker If I find peace of mind in the sand and the sea There's a hope in my heart that you'll soon be with me There's a prayer that I share with the sand and the sea And it cries "Come to me, come to me." As my eyes search the skies from the edge of the shore You are here in my arms for a moment or more Then a tear rushes down to the sand and the sea And it cries "Come to me, come to me." But as long as there's sand, as long as there's sea As long as there's time I'll wait hopefully As long as there's heaven up above Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me But as long as there's sand, as long as there's sea As long as there's time I'll wait hopefully As long as there's heaven up above Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me Transcribed by Robin Hood In transcribing the above, it was NOT my intent to simply copy lyrics as they appear in sheet music. Rather, my point was to merely the report a song _as it was sung_ by the cited artist. So please do not tell me "You're wrong" and hold out sheet music as proof. In my experience, few songs are EVER sung exactly as the lyricist intended (to wit: Bobby Darin's "Mack the Knife" contains beaucoup curlicues that Weill and Brecht would have never dreamed of!!). If differences exist between what I transcribed and what the sheet music says, blame the artist for taking poetic license, not me.
