Met her down by the ocean Grabbing shells by the dozen Oh we spent the day, Jumping the waves, like two kids Soaking up all the sunshine Felt like she was all mine But day turned to night and she faded away, Like castles into sand She was my Summer Girl She was my Summer Girl She was my treasured pearl That slipped through my hands in the surf Told me that she lived out west And Pacific beaches are the best A movie or two was filmed in the blue where she played But something magical happened Once we locked eyes she fell right in But home is where the heart weeps Not where strangers sleep So she couldn't stay
