lyrics

It started out with a little bit of doubt, can’t help wondering exactly what she’s all about
Juxtaposed, the skyline and her clothes
Anticipating all the words which show just how the night will go

It only grows as her smile sweetly glows and the summer breeze agreeing that I should approach
Well I do have a simple love for blue
Eyes flowing with your clothing brought me over to converse with you
Mhhmmm, Mhhmmm

Excuse my stare the flower in your hair’s got me tantalized like there’s something in the air
I won’t mislead, I must say that I’m intrigued
The smile in your eyes is showing me that you’d agree

Now what’s your name? I’m swearing it’s a shame
That this introduction had to wait until this evening came
And “one love” from the speaker right above
While we’re moving to the music tell me something you love speaking of
Speaking of… Speaking of…

It’s nothing that you hold in your hand, it’s nothing prearranged or planned
I’m seeing that you understand these footprints in the sand. These footprints in the sand.

The simple things I see you love what this world brings
Can’t help realize your words leave your lips and ring
Now it’s overdue we’ll take the corner spot for two
With a side of conversation and a little bit of tea to brew

And so it seems by your vibe and how you beam
That your heart’s content living something like a dream
She says, “my mind runs to the rhythm of the drums
Then the ocean waves are there to carry me until the morning comes.”
Mhhmmm Mhhmmm

Might I imply what appears to meet the eye
Is your heart and soul are captivated by the evening sky
So let us go to where the sky will show
We’ll continue with these footprints that we should’ve set so long ago

The day has gone we can lay here until dawn, we’ll analyze just what these stars have drawn
We’ll lose all complications beneath these constellations, relations, these sweet vibrations
Beneath these skies we will rise

CHORUS

Footprints in the sand you can’t ignore, they're written down beauty on the ocean shore
Some you’ll beg and plead, wishing for more, others put away in the bottom drawer

So for now, what do you say? I know a cozy place to stay
“The night is young,” said the eyes of the sun so come along, right along this way
