Sea Shell

We first met at the edge of an ocean

Evening came, bringing new emotions

In the empty sky, we saw a seagull

Kneeling in the sand, we found a sea shell

Hold it to your ear and hear the ocean

Close your eyes, see waves in gentle motion

A souvenir to last a lifetime

A memory to somehow soothe the sad times

When I'm alone

Even now, I can hear her laughter

Summer's gone and yet I remember

We sat beside a fire and built a castle

But now all that remains is just a sea shell

Hold it to your ear and hear the ocean

Close your eyes, see waves in gentle motion

A souvenir to last a lifetime

A memory to somehow soothe the sad times

When I'm alone

Late at night, when I'm thinking of her

How I wish that I never loved her

A boy in California must be careful

Or he will find himself alone with just a sea shell

Hold it to your ear and hear the ocean

Close your eyes, see waves in gentle motion

A souvenir to last a lifetime

A memory to somehow soothe the sad times

When I'm alone
