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.
