I thought of you this morning
as I welcomed in the day
I kissed you in the ocean
as I walked down to the bay
Could you hear me smiling
as I ran down to the shore
Lady, I once held your hand
in summers long before
'Cause now I'm coming back this way
You'll soon see me again
Lady, will I mean the same to you
As I did back then?
I heard you're selling kisses now
on beaches made of pearls
The tides have taken care of you
You're now an ocean girl
You've given up your straight laced ways
And sold your fancy clothes
The sea has made a gown for you of
brown and coral shores
