Kids On The Beach
Lyrics
KIDS ON THE BEACH
Mark Patterson
Copyright 2023

The surf was freezing but the sand was warm
The shoreline stretched for a mile
Between the sun and senoritas a guy could get burned
But some things you just can't teach
Like the memories made and the lessons we learned
When we were just kids on the beach

Little ones laugh playing tag with the waves
Teenage couples watch for awhile
But they're too busy playing their own game
And though the prize is different for each
They can play it forever but it's never the same
As when they were kids on the beach

Growing up a block from the ocean
Falling asleep to the surf every night
Childhood dreams and plans set in motion
Offshore breeze whispers everything is alright

An older couple was watching us once
Something about us just made them smile
By remembering summers so long ago
When the dream was still within reach
If they only knew then what now they know
When they were just kids on the beach

If they only knew then what now they know
When they were just kids on the beach
When they were just kids on the beach
We were just kids on the beach
