lyrics

We spent a weekend by the sea,
Watching the world go by.
We had a great time, we didn't try.

Cold drinks and good company,
Who could ask for more?
I could easily spend my whole life by the shore.

Take me back where the sea is blue,
Where the summer sun beats down on you.
Take me on where the nights are warm,
Where the grass is green and the days are long.

When it starts to go dark's when
We'd head out to the town.
We'd have a drink and see what's going down.

Live music or mini-golf,
The choice was up to us.
We could take our time and we could discuss.

Take me back where the sea is blue,
Where the summer sun beats down on you.
Take me on where the nights are warm,
Where the grass is green and the days are long.

Now that there's no sun,
Our lives have just begun.
Now there's no more school,
We won't be fools.

With our minds clear,
We've got all the time we need.
So I'm going to try, and
I will succeed.

Take me back where the sea is blue,
Where the summer sun beats down on you.
Take me on where the nights are warm,
Where the grass is green and the days are long.

Take me back where the sea is blue,
Take me back,
Back to you.
