I Need a Vacation

The pearlescence shine of the white sandy beaches,
Tracing love letters with fingertips in the sand.
Take me away, to the place of my daydreams,
Take me away, to a warm and distant land.

The blinding bright reflection of the sun on the ocean,
Heat beating down, warming me through and through.
Take me away, to the place of my daydreams,
Take me away, to the paradise that I knew.

A million stars shining down from a clear night sky,
Dancing barefoot together in the soft moonlight.
Take me away, to the place of my daydreams,
Take me away, we can run away tonight.
