seashell

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 and gentle motion
A souvenir
To last a lifetime
A memory to somehow soothe the sad times
When Im alone
Even now
I can hear her laughter
Summers 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 and gentle motion
A souvenir
To last a lifetime
A memory to somehow soothe the sad times
When Im alone
Late at night
When Im 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 and gentle motion
A souvenir
To last a lifetime
A memory to somehow soothe the sad times
When Im alone
