[Verse 1] Been a long drive home On a clear and sunny day My meter telling me I’m making great time I’m done wanting to roam But the kids still want to play Then a lake comes round and it’s clear to me We’ll be having a great time [Chorus] Little sandcastles Decorated with tiny shells May not look like much to others But to me they’re quite the sight Little smiles So proud and bright It all lets me know That this is the life [Verse 2] We hit the water Cool breeze and hot sand Little laughter and splashing Plastic cups to build with As the day goes it gets hotter Getting home slower than I planned But I’m glad I wasn’t dashing Now I have cups memories are filled with [Chorus] Little sandcastles Decorated with tiny shells May not look like much to others But to me they’re quite the sight Little smiles So proud and bright It all lets me know That this is the life [Bridge] I wonder years from now Will the memories we made Be enough for them somehow Each moment like a brick laid [Chorus] Little sandcastles Decorated with tiny shells May not look like much to others But to me they’re quite the sight Little smiles So proud and bright It all lets me know That this is the life This is the life
