about

"Sea of Love" went to No. 2 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 pop chart and spent 14 weeks in the top 40, as well as reaching No. 1 on the R&B chart. In 1959 it sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.[4] Nonetheless, Phillips was paid only $6800, and received no further royalties for the song or its recording.[5]

Phillips did not release an album to capitalize on his success, due to the unfavorable terms of his deal. "Because I decided to fight for what was rightfully and legally mine, a full album that I recorded was never released. I'm not being paid, nor have I ever been paid, as an artist for 'Sea of Love'. I never received justice and to this day have not received justice."

lyrics

Come with me, my love
To the sea, the sea of love
I want to tell you how much I love you
Do you remember when we met?
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you how much I love you
Come with me to the sea
Oh, love
Do you remember when we met?
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you how much I love you
Come with me to the sea
Oh, love
Do you remember when we met?
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you how much I love you
