The Ocean
[Verse 1]
There’s a house on the beach that I see in my dreams
With a little blue chair on a porch and a tire swing
Salt in the air and a cool breeze beckoning me
To come and see the ocean
[Verse 2]
I run through the dunes and the years and the weeds
I run and I stumble the sand it burns my feet
The crashing of waves and that cool breeze swallowing me
I run into the ocean
Always love the ocean
[Verse 3]
I sat in that little blue chair way back when
When I still had dreams and you loved when I told you them
With a kiss on my cheek and a smile that no one could miss
Said I’d love the ocean
[Verse 4]
We’d run in the yard and we’d play pretend
We run till the sun met the tree line again
Tired and warm you’d kiss me and said
You’ll give me the ocean
[Bridge]
Oh the years go by, and that smile never faded
And oh I grew in time
And that little blue chair was no longer mine
Oh the years flew by and that smile started changing
[Verse 5]
I sat next to you
You smiled at me
Your voice like a cool breeze
There’s a house on the beach that I’d love you to see
[Outro]
That smile you gave was goodbye and hello
Mama was there when they took you back home
Took me a while but I hope that you know
I still dream about the ocean
I feel you by the ocean
Oh I sing about the ocean
I’ll see you by the ocean
Oh I see you by the ocean
