(Verse 1) The sun sinks low beneath the sapphire sea The ocean breeze is whispering to me You held my hand right here upon the shore A tropical dream I’d never felt before Just a warm wind, and a secret tonight (Chorus) Oh, a summer love on this southern isle Tasting the salt and the warmth of your smile But like the tide that washes away We knew we only had until the break of day A beautiful shadow, fading into the blue (Verse 2) The neon dimming as the midnight nears Under the gaze of a silver crescent moon Your steady heartbeat, heavy and deep A summer promise that we couldn't keep The midnight tide sounds like a soft goodbye (Chorus) Oh, a summer love on this southern isle Tasting the salt and the warmth of your smile But like the tide that washes away We knew we only had until the break of day A beautiful shadow, fading into the blue (Bridge) Footprints on the beach, now washed by the sea Tell me, are you still thinking of me? The flight back home is waiting in the dawn But under these stars, our memory lingers on (Instrumental Break) (Chorus) Oh, a summer love on this southern isle Tasting the salt and the warmth of your smile But like the tide that washes away We knew we only had until the break of day A beautiful shadow, fading into the blue (Outro) Mmm, just a summer love... On this lonely island... The waves carry you away... Fading out... into the night.
