Are those stars in your brown eyes because they’re shining much too bright?
But they’re bound to fall or burn out in time
You’re no different except, I guess, the fact that you’re the best
Or, at least that’s how I’ve got you memorized

I remember walking to the shore arm in arm
You couldn’t swim, you were content to just hold on
Waking up with you in the sand
That Florida Sun rising between our hands
I’m begging you not to let that go
Please don’t let it go

And I’d love to come back home, but I know that you’d have gone
And taken all that shit I been working for
All those gifts, all those times
All the laughter and the rhymes
Do you really think you could ask for more?

I remember walking to the shore arm in arm
You couldn’t swim, you were content to just hold on
Waking up with you in the sand
That Florida Sun rising between our hands
I’m begging you not to let that go
Please don’t let it go

I could follow some other dream, deny myself, and move up stream
But the only vessel’s been chartered long ago
I’m afraid I’d let it slip, spit riptide and sink the ship
So the strongest love’s the one that’s left untold
I remember walking to the shore arm in arm
You couldn’t swim, you were content to just hold on
Waking up with you in the sand
That Florida Sun rising between our hands
I’m begging you not to let that go
Please don’t let it go
You were content to just hold on, so please don’t let it go
