Sea Shell

We first met

At the edge of an ocean

Evening came

Bringing new emotions

In the empty sky, we saw a seagull

Kneeling in the sand, we found a sea shell

Hold it to your ear and hear the ocean

Close your eyes, see waves and gentle motion

A souvenir

To last a lifetime

A memory to somehow soothe the sad times

When I'm alone

Even now

I can hear her laughter

Summer's gone

And yet I remember

We sat beside a fire and built a castle

But now all that remains is just a sea shell

Hold it to your ear and hear the ocean

Close your eyes, see waves and gentle motion

A souvenir

To last a lifetime

A memory to somehow soothe the sad times

When I'm alone

Late at night

When I'm thinking of her

How I wish

That I never loved her

A boy in California must be careful

Or he will find himself alone with just a sea shell

Hold it to your ear and hear the ocean

Close your eyes, see waves and gentle motion

A souvenir

To last a lifetime

A memory to somehow soothe the sad times

When I'm alone
