Separated by the Sea

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
