In Santa Cruz, where Summer comes alive I found a girl who made me think love arrived Her sweet charm matched my infectious smile We talked often on the phone for quite a while Boardwalk love like a warm summer breeze Hand in hand, walking by the moonlit sea But life had other plans and ripped us apart Boardwalk love stayed alive in our hearts We explored the town and kissed by the shore Underneath the stars our young love soared But as August was starting reality took hold College took her away then the beach got cold Boardwalk love like a warm summer breeze Hand in hand, walking by the moonlit sea Life had other plans and ripped us apart A love that ended, but etched in our hearts A year passed by and fate brought her back The Boardwalk, Arcade, memories to unpack But once again, a choice needed to be made Studies or love, she chose to leave unafraid Boardwalk love like a warm summer breeze Hand in hand, we walked by the moonlit sea But life had other plans and ripped us apart A love that ended but etched in our hearts Boardwalk love quickly came and swiftly went Leaving a romance that was heaven-sent Though she had to go, memories didn’t fade They are in my heart and are often replayed
