I was walking along the beach
One sunny day
When I saw an old lady
Looking happy and strange
I said lady why you looking so happy today
She son, cause im listening to the ocean waves
She said the ocean waves
Are the way it should be
Always happy and always free
They'll talk to you
And tell you what to do
When you think your sad
And feeling blue
So listen to the ocean waves
She said the ocean waves
Are the way it should be
Always happy and always free
They'll talk to you
And tell you what to do
When you think your sad
And feeling blue
So listen to the ocean waves
Then one sad day
My girl past away
And I drove to the beach
Where we used to stay
The beach was the place
That she loved so much
We were always there
When the sun was up
So I sat in the sand
And I started to cry
Just thinking about
All those wonderful times
Then I remembered
What old lady said
She said the ocean waves
Are the way it should be
Always happy and always free
They'll talk to you
And tell you what to do
When you think your sad
And feeling blue
So listen to the ocean waves
She said the ocean waves
Are the way it should be
Always happy and always free
They'll talk to you
And tell you what to do
When you think your sad
And feeling blue
So listen to the ocean waves
So I dried my eyes
And I started to listen
And I could hear her voice
Coming from a distance
She said I love you so
And I always will
And ill always be here
When you want me still
To talk to you
And tell you what to do
When you think your sad
And feeling blue
So listen to the ocean waves
The ocean waves
Are the way it should be
Always happy and always free
They'll talk to you
And tell you what to do
When you think your sad
And feeling blue
So listen to the ocean waves
The ocean waves
Are the way it should be
Always happy and always free
They'll talk to you
And tell you what to do
When you think your sad
And feeling blue
So listen to the ocean waves (Slow)
