--FROM WIKIPEDIA--
Phillips' 1959 recording of the song peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B chart and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. In the UK, Marty Wilde covered the song, and Phillips' version failed to chart there. It has been covered by a number of artists since then, most notably The Honeydrippers, whose version (from the album The Honeydrippers: Volume One) reached #3 on the Hot 100 chart in 1984, and by The Heptones. Tom Waits also covered the song for the soundtrack to the 1989 Harold Becker film Sea of Love starring Al Pacino and Ellen Barkin and included it on his 2006 collection Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards.
It was the first and only Top 40 song for Phillips, who never recorded another hit.
--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, of 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, of 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
