Beyond the Sea - Bobby Darin
Somewhere beyond the sea,
Somewhere, waiting for me,
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing;
Somewhere beyond the sea,
He's there watching for me.
If I could fly like birds on high,
Then straight to his arms I'd go sailing.
It's far beyond a star,
It's near beyond the moon,
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon.
We'll meet beyond the shore,
We'll kiss just as before.
Happy we'll be beyond the sea,
And never again I'll go sailing!
I love Kevin Spacey, hence his version ;)
but then, how can I not put RW's version?
and it'd be so wrong not to put Mr. Darin's version, right?

Nice! I'm a big fan of Kevin (going way back to his work in Wiseguy) and Bobby, and I think Kevin does a marvelous job with Bobby's signature tunes. It was actually great to see a fan helming the Bobby Darin biopic, and that movie left me smiling for days.
If you're a Darin fan, you might be interested in some of the articles on my site; interviews with some folks who knew and worked with Bobby, features on his film career, his singles, and other stuff:
