Lyrics

Beach Music

There is a place I used to go when I was of that age
Of doodling hearts and new last names on my scribbler page
Poster crushes, matinees and puppy love
Sand in my feet, a calypso beat, the summer sun above
And I’d listen to the beach music
And I’d do a barefoot dance
I would sway to the rhythm of the crashing waves say a little prayer for romance
There is a place i used to go where the water was salty as tears
With broken hearts and promises the cruelest years
And when I’d cry what did I do wrong what’s the matter with me
The sea would whisper love will come when it’s meant to be
And I’d listen to the beach music
And I’d do a barefoot dance
I would sway to the rhythm of the crashing waves say a little prayer for romance
Blow winds blow, tell me what I need to know
Cause I get caught between holding on and letting go
There is a place I used to go where we’d get high and laugh and play
And I haven’t been back for a long time now but I will someday
And when I hear the melody of the oceans song
Sand in my toes and love in my heart, I’ve heard it all along
And we’ll listen to the beach music, And we’ll do a barefoot dance
We’ll sway to the rhythm of the crashing waves say a little thanks for romance
We’ll listen to the beach music
