Deep in the night I climb the stairway to the sea   And pretend you were there beside me   So close beside me, watching the sea   I see us there upon the stairway to the sea   Where the mist softly kissed two lovers   Hiding from others our love by the sea      Why try to find a new love when your voice keeps calling me?   I'm just a lonely prisoner of the stairway to the sea   And there you'll find me waiting for the day of your return   But till that day how memories can burn      This is my prayer upon the stairway to the sea   That you soon will be there before me   Whispering adore me, there by the sea      And there you'll find me waiting for the day of your return   But till that day how memories can burn      This is my prayer upon the stairway to the sea   That you soon will be there before me   Whispering adore me, there by the sea      There by the sea   There by the sea
