The Cottage

Oh, my heart will always be At a cottage by the sea Me and Michael, mom and dad What memories did my family had Lobsters clams and knotty pine Shore dinners with the neighbors we did dine Peanut butter sandwiches on the beach Carousel rides were our Wednesday treat Early morning breakfasts’, fishing at the dock Bluefish grilling within a lemon butter stock Renting floats and riding waves Coconut oil and tropical ice shaves Fun o Rama and ice cream cones Drive-in movies, skipping stones Oh, my heart will always be At a cottage by the sea But time keeps rolling and people pass on No more floats or skipping stones No more peanut butter, marshmallow treats No more jumping waves at the beach No more lobsters clams or neighbors in to dine No more smell of knotty pine No more Michael Mom and Dad Oh I miss the fun we had. Oh, my heart will always be At a cottage by the sea Put away the pearls put away the dust Turn the page to chapter 2; it’s only right and just I’ll always have my memories they can’t be taken from me Time for me to pack my soul and leave the cottage by the Sea Today my heart will always be At a condo by the sea Lining the walls for all to see Are pictures of Mom and Dad and Michael and Me. And lest we forget where my heart will be At a cottage by the sea.
