Long walks in pleasant sun,
The ocean scent of blazing blue.
In the Carolinas we have our fun.
Our wedding vows become brand new.
Summer breeze waff of silky hair,
The salty seas and coconut tan.
A slow rowing boat lifts all our cares.
We’re building a castle on the sand.
The waters tickle our ankles and knees,
A warmth and coolness on bare skin.
Undulating up and down with ease,
the waves spur our love to win.
Summer breeze waff of silky hair,
The salty seas and coconut tan.
A slow rowing boat lifts all our cares.
We’re building a castle on the sand.
A brightness illuminates by candlelight.
Our youthful exuberance excites the stars.
The black breezy sky in full moonlight
heals all toils, troubles and wanderlust scars.
Summer breeze waff of silky hair,
The salty seas and coconut tan.
A slow rowing boat lifts all our cares.
We’re building a castle on the sand.

Smoke dreams on a summer night
Fill me with a heady mixture
The night’s textures wrap me in their tenderness
And its musical refrains tickle my ears
As heavy scents waff upward
In cosmic celebration
I’m of the stars and the night this evening
I’ve shaken these earthly shackles
If only for a moment’s passing
If only it could linger longer
So I could rise to all its promises
And float endlessly
In this summer night
If only I could be the summer night
And never feel the heat or see the Sun
If only I could float on summer promises
And always be close to heaven’s magic
If only a summer’s night could be forever
Then the stars would always be mine and time could lie down
