Sandy Beaches - a Parody

I'm dreaming of the sandy beaches Just like the ones I’ve seen before, Where the surf is rising, With lovers surmising, While kayakers skim along the shore. I’m dreaming of the sandy beaches With every poem today I write Hoping you have good weather up here If I think of you, I’ll shout a quick “Good night!” [Repeat] I'm dreaming of those sandy beaches With every poem today I write Of my presence here please do not lose sight And may your holidays be bright!
Written December 10, 2022 [with a special nod to Irving Berlin, a parody of his "White Christmas"]

Your lyrics and Berlin's music go quite well together. Cancun 79 degrees and Mexico City 66 degrees, today! Enjoy the beaches on your vacation Milt.
