Shiny water, shiny water, spirit daughter of the sea,
you will never know how I love you so
or that you were meant for me

His love for her echoed afar
her love for him reflects from each star

Shiny water, shiny water...

I know there are more lyrics. If you find more, please email to annefinn [at] gmail.com

I heard this song in Seattle around the summer of 1982 and/or 1983. A camp counselor named Lavonne taught it to kids at the Wallingford Boys and Girls Club summer day camp. I wish I could find all the lyrics to this song, too! These are the lyrics I remember:

Shining Water, Shining Water, spirit daughter of the sea
You will never know how I love you so
and that you were meant for me

High on a lonely ledge
There stands a brave for her
But Shining Water is far across the sea

Shining Water, Shining Water, spirit daughter of the sea
You will never know how I love you so
And that you were meant for me......

Shining Water

Shining Water
Shining water
Spirit daughter
Of the sea

You will never know
How I love you so
Or that you were meant
For me

His love for her
It echoed so far
Her love for him
Reflects from each star

Shining Water
Shining water
Spirit daughter
Of the sea

You will never know
How I love you so
Or that you were meant
For me

Is this strictly an LDS camp song? Seems everywhere I have found it, ties back to LDS girls in the 80s and 90s.

No, in the 1970s it was sung and taught (with sign-language gestures that I no longer recall) at a decidedly non-LDS camp (Girl Scouts) called “Camp Kaufmann” in New York State.
