Lyrics

I stood back and looked out to sea
and a big blue ocean stared back at me
I couldn't see to the other side
when I turned and walked from the crashing tide
with wet feet and dripping clothes
with an honest memory, with a heart that knows
what its like to leave a love as big as an ocean

CHORUS:
Hey hey, its hard to turn away
But if you keep going, you might find something deeper than what you left behind
A love as big as an ocean
