[Intro] (Ukulele starts bright and cheerful, light shakers sway back and forth; soft bassline enters slow and smooth) (Vocals come in soft, smiling, lazy and warm) Mmm… yeah… Summer’s calling out my name… [Verse 1] (Sung laid-back, conversational, like strolling along the shore) Salt wind in my hair, flip-flops on my feet Boardwalk lights ahead, rhythm in the street Cold lemonade sweats right through the glass Time moves slow, yeah nothing’s moving fast Seashells underfoot, waves hum a tune Blue sky turning gold way too soon No alarms, no rules, just endless days This kind of magic never fades away (Handclaps join softly, melody lifts brighter) [Pre-Chorus] (Voice rises lighter, sweeter, full of joy, like running toward the water) Kite flies high where the trade winds blow Sun paints colors on the water below Bare skin glowing, warm and free Every second feels like a memory… [Chorus] (Catchy, full, sing-along energy — steel drums shine here; beat bouncy and happy) Sun-kissed tides, tides, tides Washing all the heavy thoughts aside Sun-kissed tides, tides, tides Heaven’s right here where the ocean rides Dance in the surf or just lie in the sand Warm breeze carrying music across the land Sun-kissed tides, tides, tides This is summer written in the sky, yeah… [Verse 2] (Smooth flow again; soft keyboard sparkles in the background) We chase the waves until the sun goes low Footprints wash away where the waters flow Coconut scent drifting soft and sweet Cooling shade waiting under palm tree leaves Ice cream truck hums its familiar song Good times stretch out nice and long Stars start popping one by one Day isn’t done when the sun is gone [Pre-Chorus] (Bright, rising tone, same happy lift) Kite flies high where the trade winds blow Sun paints colors on the water below Bare skin glowing, warm and free Every second feels like a memory… [Chorus] (Repeat — louder, with soft layered harmonies like friends singing together) Sun-kissed tides, tides, tides Washing all the heavy thoughts aside Sun-kissed tides, tides, tides Heaven’s right here where the ocean rides Dance in the surf or just lie in the sand Warm breeze carrying music across the land Sun-kissed tides, tides, tides This is summer written in the sky, yeah… [Bridge] (Beat softens — just ukulele and gentle percussion; voice dreamy, calm, like twilight) When the moon hangs low above the deep We’ll stay awake while the world’s asleep Sand still warm from the day we spent Perfect moments, pure content… (Beat builds slowly, drums light and fun again) Oh, yeah… this feeling never ends… [Chorus] (Full happy energy, all instruments bright and lively) Sun-kissed tides, tides, tides Washing all the heavy thoughts aside Sun-kissed tides, tides, tides Heaven’s right here where the ocean rides Dance in the surf or just lie in the sand Warm breeze carrying music across the land Sun-kissed tides, tides, tides This is summer written in the sky… [Outro] (Beat slows, fades soft; vocals relaxed, happy, whispering to the wind) Sun-kissed tides… so bright… Yeah… Salt, sun, and sea… Just you and me… (Last ukulele strum, soft sound of waves crashing) (Fades out slowly)
