I'm looking
     because I wish to see

Searching
      because I wish to find

Listening
      because I wish to hear



I'm wanting
      because I wish to become

Retreating
       because I wish to observe

Loving
     because I wish to be loved

Take me back to the beach
Take me back to my friend
Give me a piece of paper
Give me a pen
Take me back to the beach
Take me back to my friend

I'll write you a song
I'll write you a poem
Let the waves roll in
Let my mind roam
Take me back to the beach
Take me back to my friend

I listen to the waves crash on the shore
It encourages me to write some more
The sound massages and relaxes my mind
Keeps bringing be back from time to time
Take me back to the beach
Take me back to my friend

You are the sun that rises up out of the ocean
You are the sun that sets in the sea
You are the last one that I think of
before I go to sleep
Oh Baby, you are the one in my dreams

You are a gift
you are faith, you are hope, you are love
Oh Baby, you are a gift from above
You are the one I believe in
The one that I prayed for
Oh Baby, you are the one that I love

You are the phases of the moon
You are the stars in the sky
You are the one that lights up the night
Oh Baby, you are the universe of my life

You are a gift
you are faith, you are hope, you are love
Oh Baby, you are a gift from above
You are the one I believe in
The one that I prayed for
Oh Baby, you are the one that I love

I can't wait until I get off at six
So I can head to Covington to get my Oktoberfest fix
To sit in Goebel Park's courtyard and listen to a German band;
with the German style Pied Piper Bell tower; the view is grand
At the Goose Girl Fountain, a walking German band can be found
I guess my heritage is ingrained but I like that sound
Brats with sauerkraut, roasted nuts and some German beer
Come on six o'clock I want to be there!

We are all crazy, we are all insane
We are all passionate about something.
Whatever we say, whatever we do
There will be someone who misjudges and doesn't approve

So what are we to do
Should we not be ourselves
Do we need everyone to approve
I will always be crazy and will always be true
Go ahead and judge me; I'm just going to smile back at you : )

Today is but a moment; recorded in time
Tomorrow we may choose to hit rewind
We can look back on the love or the hate
What brought us down or what made us feel great
We will remember happiness and we will remember sorry
Maybe we need them both; so we can look forward to tomorrow

Butterflies in  the day
Fireflies at night
Adding more beauty to my surrounding
Here in the middle of July

People head for the pools to splash around
The laughter of children what a beautiful sound
People lathering up and soaking up the sun
The middle of July; everybody is having fun

There are concerts and festivals, state and county fairs
Summertime fun can be found almost everywhere
Amusement parks and swimming during the day
Campfires and outdoors concerts at night
What a beautiful month; the month of July
