The Beach Is So Beautiful

Songtext

[Verse 1] Sand slips through my open hands Warm as bread from a morning pan Gulls draw circles over the bay While the tide folds the blue away [Pre-Chorus] You point where the water turns gold A little world in the shell you hold [Chorus] The beach is so beautiful today White foam writing and washing away Your laugh carries farther than the boats offshore I could stay beside you forevermore The beach is so beautiful, wide and bright Blue on blue in the afternoon light With salt on our skin and our shoes in the sand I feel the whole world resting in your hand [Verse 2] Sea grass bends in a steady breeze Warm wind moving through the trees A red kite climbs, then dips from view The horizon keeps its patient blue [Pre-Chorus] You leave two footprints by the pier Then the rolling water brings them near [Chorus] The beach is so beautiful today White foam writing and washing away Your laugh carries farther than the boats offshore I could stay beside you forevermore The beach is so beautiful, wide and bright Blue on blue in the afternoon light With salt on our skin and our shoes in the sand I feel the whole world resting in your hand [Bridge] When the evening cools the shore We will hear the tide once more No grand promise, nothing new Just this open sky and you [Final Chorus] The beach is so beautiful tonight Shells like small moons in the fading light Your shoulder beside me, the water at rest This little day became my favorite best The beach is so beautiful, calm and wide Keep this blue horizon by my side With salt on our skin and our shoes in the sand I feel the whole world resting in your hand [Outro] The tide comes in, the tide goes out And you are what this day is about
