A Summer Walk

The sun is slowly rising and a soft wind gently blows We are heading for the beach to feel the sand between our toes There is something about the summer sun and a walk along the shore That tends to put your world at peace as you hear the ocean's roar The sound of children's laughter and the smell of tanning lotion The taste of salt in the air from the mist coming off of the ocean Sea gulls against a clear blue sky and a ship with its' sails set These are days that will live in our memory, days we'll never forget There are palm trees, music and a carousel as you make your way along And a young woman in a bikini, her body swaying to an island song There is a rhythm to the pounding surf, unchanging day to day That tends to ease a troubled mind and take your blues away Will you join me in a summer walk and be there at my side Will you run with me into the water and swim against the tide There's a bench out on the boardwalk, we can sit a while and talk Then head back home together as we finish our summer walk.
