Secrets By The Sea
Alone, we went down to the sea
All by ourselves, just my sweetheart and me
We whisper things above the oceans roar
And trade secrets while walking along the shore
We talk about nothing but say a lot
We remember things we almost forgot
We wait and we watch for a memory to share
Nature obliges us with visions of the rare
Pipers cavort while the tide dances at our feet
The day is well spent, its especially sweet
We saw ships and sail boats come and go
They were traveling to places we wanted to know
We found sea shells and a sand dollar
a smooth piece of glass, some driftwood and an old dog collar
I saved the glass for her in my pants pocket
She treasured the sand dollar like some special locket
We have come here before and we will come again
Because she is my confidant and I am her friend
The sun puts on a spectacular show as it sets for the day
A pelican flies out to watch it go down and we have nothing to say
The foam on the waves appears to turn white
And we are happy as our day at the beach turns into night
Someday soon we will return, my sweetheart and me
Because we can’t wait to be down by the sea
