By the Sea

Basking in the moonlight,

I see the sea, before me...

and the breeze, blowin',

the hair off my forehead...

and the leaves rustling, 

shifting, mid air...

sayin’, "yeah, we're there..."

Walkin' down the promenade,

a boulevard of flowers,

fragrances, nostalgic...

like the spring showers.

Crashin', thrashin',

the waves on the rocks...

I leave my footprints,

on the sand, without socks…

An empty bottle, hollow,

like there's no tomorrow...

A violent swig, a capsized brig,

on the sandy beach…

No, I ain't drunk..!

Only groovin' to the funk...

and all that this night has to offer...!

God's wonderful creation, 

the symphony

of a jazz composition..!

The rhythm and the blues,

the night and its hues...

Come, sing along with me,

‘cause, we're walkin' by the sea, yeah...
