I'm happy as the silver sea
You bring new happiness to me
I'm dancing like the tumbling waves
Like a lifeguard swims, free and brave
In winter time we stay on shore
And wait till summer comes once more
A dog, cat, child, blind man can see
You've brought purpose in life to me
An end to lonely misery
'though life's not always safe, pain-free
When I look in your lovely eyes
I see red earth, and bright blue skies
Sunmer sun, spring rain, winter snow
The seeds we plant and water grow
Tall palms grow fast, though fruit seems slow
We have a glowing group of friends
Ripples of goodwill never ends
We cut, and prune, and mow each hour
Dreaming of herbs, spices, flowers
Like a teenage couple glancing
A fairytale romance with dancing
Hold hands by a band, ballons, fir
Liqueur, bonheur and orchestra
Floating, glinting on sequinned sea
Wherever your float boat may be
Waves of joy bring you back to me
Vows like gems keep you happy
Like tourists surfing on the waves
Exploring vast inviting sea
Which pulls to safe sandy shores
Your shady haven, home with me.
But shores have rocks, you should expect
Don't shut your eyes, hope we don't see
Steer firm past pirates on shipwrecks
Who wish they'd sailed with you and me.
