Verse 1:
Stormy the night and the waves roll high,
Bravely the ship doth ride;
Hark! while the lighthouse bell’s solemn cry
Rings o’er the sullen tide
There on the deck see two lovers stand,
Heart to heart beating and hand in hand,
Tho’ death be near, she knows no fear,
While at her side is one all most dear.

Chorus:
Loudly the bell in the old tower rings,
Bidding us list to the warning it brings
Sailor, take care! Sailor, take care!
Danger is near thee, Beware! Beware!
Beware! Beware!
Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep,
So beware! Beware!
Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep,
So beware! Beware!

Verse 2:
What of the storm when the night is o’er?
There is no trace or sign!
Save where the wreckage hath strewn the shore,
Peaceful the sun doth shine
But when the wild raging storm did cease,
Under the billows two hearts found peace,
No more to part, no more of pain,
The bell may now toll its warning in vain

Bridge:
Jazz notes fill the air, soft and low,
As the story of love and loss starts to flow.
Trumpet’s cry and piano’s whisper,
Telling tales of the brave and the crisper.

Chorus:
Loudly the bell in the old tower rings,
Bidding us list to the warning it brings
Sailor, take care! Sailor, take care!
Danger is near thee, Beware! Beware!
Beware! Beware!
Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep,
So beware! Beware!
Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep,
So beware! Beware!

Outro:
Smooth and slow, let the music take flight,
Echoing tales of that fateful night.
With a jazz tune that lingers, bittersweet,
We remember the lovers, their hearts’ last beat.
