STROLLING BY THE SEA

Winter has its sparkle, but not for me today

my thoughts have turned to summer, not so far away.

With mild and lighter evenings and days so warm and long

I think of all the things I can do, when summer comes along.

But I’ll just want to be with you and feel you close to me

walking hand in hand with you, strolling by the sea.

So I will take some time away, to be alone with you

and we will find a rocky cove, where the sea is blue.

As we watch the children play, we’ll wonder at it all

then I’ll steal a kiss from you, as the waves caress the shore.

And I’ll just want to be with you and feel you close to me

walking hand in hand with you strolling by the sea.

We’ll take a walk across the cliffs, up where the seagulls fly

and watch the sea crash on the rocks, as the clouds drift by.

Then we’ll stroll down to the beach, to find a shell or two

and watch the surf ride on the tide, just glad it’s me and you.

The winter has us in its grip, now snow has fallen too

but my thoughts are of summer days, just being alone with you.
