From the recording Panatella Musica
Lyrics
You live on the other side of the sea
I know you and I will never meet
I’m kind of embarrassed to say
I think about you every day
Belinda, Belinda, I wish you lived near me
You have a self effacing charm
Your smile and sense of play are warm
Although it’s only what I see
I wish we could sit down for tea
Belinda, Belinda, I wish you lived near me
I get sense of your intellect
Your sarcasm and your quick wit
But that’s just what I see you project
Watching you on my TV set
Belinda, Belinda, I wish you lived near me
I know you will not be alone
May God bless you with a happy home
And should you ever need a cheer
Know that your presence crosses the sea, dear
Belinda, Belinda, I wish you lived near me
