Introduction:
“Never doubt my love for you. If I'm breathing, I'm loving you. Only you... always you... forever you.” ~ Jewel E. Ann

The artist and song I am going to feature tonight speaks to love with a distance to overcome and the ability to stand fast for those things in life one truly wants without having to accept less.  "Beyond The Sea” is the song's title and the singer is none other than the brilliant Bobby Darin. The song was released in 1959 and this is the best known version.

“Beyond The Sea” reached no. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, no. 15 on the US R&B Chart, and no. 8 in the UK Singles Chart. It is the 2nd track in his album titled “That’s All”. The video was published on YouTube Mar 7, 2007 by www53. Its genre is considered Big band, traditional pop, vocal jazz.  I have listed a poem titled "Never Doubt My Love" written by Peter Strugnel.

“Never Doubt My Love”
I'd never be unkind, you know that it's true,
and i'll do my best, to never make you blue,
what little i have, i'd give it all to you,
you should never doubt my love.

when you fall between, a rock and a hard place,
when there are things, that you just can't face,
i can offer you, a much safer place
you should never doubt my love.

but nothing's certain, and life is short,
and it's a crime, to hesitate too long,
what i'm selling, just can't be bought,
in my arms is, where you belong.

when the one you count on, lets you down
when in a pool of tears, you think that you'll drown,
life's misfortune, together we'll turn it around,
you should never doubt my love.

anxious of the past, fearfull of tomorrow,
why is it that, we just can't live?
have no regrets, don't dwell on sorrow,
don't hold back, if you've got love to give.

when the sands of time, are running out too fast,
when you think the good times, are all in the past,
if you think the cards are dealt, and the die are cast
you should never doubt my love.

If you're unsure, and need a hand to hold
I'd give you my coat, and never feel the cold
and if you've ever confused brass with gold
you should never doubt my love.

let me turn your collar, to the cold winds that blow
lift your spirits, if you're feeling low
I care for you, more than you'll ever know
you should never doubt my love.

Peter Strugnell

Remember music is a language and these are my thoughts tonight.
Love and Peace always
