What I think Of When...

Im walking with a man over hot sand, my sandals held in my hand. My toes digging in the grains of sand. The sun is hot and bright. There are no clouds in the sky. The ocean is blue and majestic. The waves crashing in reminding people to respect the ocean. A breeze presses my sundress flush against my body, hugging my curves.

As we get closer we hear this song. So appropriate, so perfectly in tune to the time and place that we were. So perfect for the mood. This song, which plays as we take a stroll right on the boardwalk. He takes my hand and twirls me around in circles. I laugh and people smile as they see us laugh in the open. We sing to each other taking turns. Smiling eyes, happy eyes return my gaze and all is as it should be. Wonderful.

This song will always remind me of that moment.

Under the boardwalk
By The Drifters

Oh, when the sun beats down
And burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot
You wish your tired feet were fireproof
Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby
Is where I'll be

(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun
(Under the boardwalk) People walking above
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love
(Under the boardwalk, boardwalk)

In the park you hear
The happy sound of the carousel
You can almost taste the hot dogs
French fries they sell
Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby
Is where I'll be

(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun
(Under the boardwalk) People walking above
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love
(Under the boardwalk, boardwalk)

[Instrumental Interlude]

Oh, under the boardwalk
Down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby
Is where I'll be

(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be having some fun
(Under the boardwalk) People walking above
(Under the boardwalk) We'll be falling in love
(Under the boardwalk, boardwalk)
