It's a wonderful jazz standard / chanson classic, and perfect for piano! "Beyond the Sea" was composed by French singer-songwriter Charles Trenet in 1943, then titled "La Mer". He recorded it in 1946. Over time, it became a popular jazz standard / chanson classic, and has been recorded by many other artists. The lyrics for the English version (retitled "Beyond the Sea") were written by Jack Lawrence. Bobby Darin's 1959 recording was a big hit, and further popularized the tune. The song was also used in the end credits of the 2003 Disney / Pixar film "Finding Nemo", in a version by Robbie Williams. "Beyond the Sea" makes for a wonderful piano piece! Lyrics: Somewhere beyond the sea Somewhere waiting for me My lover stands on golden sands And watches the ships that go sailing Somewhere beyond the sea She's there watching for me If I could fly like birds on high Then straight to her arms I'd go sailing It's far beyond the stars It's near beyond the moon I know beyond a doubt My heart will lead me there soon We'll meet beyond the shore We'll kiss just as before Happy we'll be beyond the sea And never again I'll go sailing I know beyond a doubt My heart will lead me there soon We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the shore We'll kiss just as before Happy we'll be beyond the sea And never again I'll go sailing Original French lyrics ("La Mer"): La mer qu’on voit danser le long des golfes clairs A des reflets d’argent, la mer Des reflets changeants sous la pluie La mer au ciel d’été confond ses blancs moutons Avec les anges si purs, la mer Bergère d’azur infinie Voyez près des étangs ces grands roseaux mouillés Voyez ces oiseaux blancs et ces maisons rouillées La mer les a bercé le long des golfes clairs Et d’une chanson d’amour, la mer A bercé mon coeur pour la vie La mer qu’on voit danser le long des golfes clairs A des reflets d’argent, la mer Des reflets changeants sous la pluie La mer au ciel d’été confond ses blancs moutons Avec les anges si purs, la mer Bergère d’azur infinie Voyez près des étangs ces grands roseaux mouillés Voyez ces oiseaux blancs et ces maisons rouillées
