Lyrics[]
Where did she go?
Where can she be?
When will she come again?
Calling to me?
Calling to me...
Calling to me...
Somewhere there's a girl
Who's like the shimmer of the wind upon the water
Somewhere there's a girl
Who's like the glimmer of the sunlight on the sea
Somewhere there's a girl
Who's like a swell of endless music
Somewhere she is singing
And her song is meant for me
And her voice
It's sweet as angels sighing
And her voice
It's warm as summer sky
And that sound
It haunts my dreams
And spins me round
Until it seems
I'm flying
Her voice
I can sense her laughter
In the ripple of the waves against the shoreline
I can see her smiling
In the moonlight as it settles on the sand
I can feel her waiting
Just beyond the pale horizon
Singing out a melody too lovely to withstand
And her voice
It's there as dusk is falling
And her voice
It's there as dawn steals by
Pure and bright, it's always near
All day, all night
And still, I hear it calling
Her voice
Strange as a dream
Real as the sea
If you can hear me now
Come set me free
Come set me free!
The reprise of the song is sung in the second act of the show by Ursula. It was only featured in the pre-Broadway showing.
Ursula:
Now, at last, my plan is on its way to its delectable completion
Flotsam and Jetsam: Oooooooooo
Ursula: Only one more sunset, and then finally, I’ll own the little niece
Flotsam and Jetsam: Oooooooooo
Ursula:
Soon I'll have my brother just exactly where I want him
And I'll be unstoppable as long as I have this!
(spoken)
Her voice!
HAH!
Flotsam and Jetsam: Yeah!
Where can she go?
Where can she be?
When will she come again?
Calling to me?
Calling to me
Somewhere there's a girl
Who's like the shimmer of the wind upon the water
Somewhere there's a girl
Who's like the glimmer of the sunlight of the sea
Somewhere there's a girl
Who's like a swell of endless music
Somewhere she is singing
And her song is meant for me
And her voice
It's sweet as angels sighing
And her voice
It's warm as summer sky
And that sound
It haunts my dream
And spins me round
Until it seems
I'm flying
I can sense her laughter
In the ripple of the waves against the shoreline
I can see her smiling
In the moonlight as it settles on the sand
I can feel her waiting
Just beyond the pale horizon
Singing out a melody too lovely to withstand
And her voice
It's there as dust is falling
And her voice
It's there as dawn steals by
Pure and bright, it's always near
All day, all night
And still, I hear it calling
Her voice!
Come set me free...
Trivia[]
- The song "Wild Uncharted Waters" from the live action remake is very similar to this song, as it is also about Eric being desired to find Ariel.
