I drift off in memory To Carmel-by-the-Sea We drove up to Monterey Where you gave your heart to me Then walked out into the ocean Caught up in the salty breeze As we loved each other I felt the waves wash over me Every reason I should stay But I chose the interstate Now everywhere I look Is where I see your face The bright lights of Las Vegas Are as blue as they can be Even out here in the desert I feel the waves wash over me If you ask me why I told you goodby Now I know....... I was searching to find what I was leaving behind Down the road.... The flood of emotions that began in that ocean Is still running deep The more I know I need you Each time the waves wash over me So glad you answered girl So good to hear your voice I'm sorry, sounds so lame But it's so much more than noise If you can grant forgiveness And hang with me on the phone I'll be California surfing The waves are washing me back home If you ask me why I told you goodby Now I know...... I was searching to find what I was leaving behind Down the road...... The flood of emotions that began in that ocean Is still running deep The more I know I need you Each time the waves wash over me Protected by copyright All rights reserved
