Beyond the reef, Where the sea is dark and cold,

My love has gone, And our dreams grow old,

There'll be no tears; There'll be no regretting,

Will she/he remember me; Will she/he forget?
I'll send a thousand flow'rs, When the trade winds blow.
I'll send my lonely heart, For I love her/him so.
Someday I know, She'll/He'll come back again to me.
Till then my heart will be, Beyond the reef.
