Spanish On The Beach

You spoke in Spanish on the beach

I tried to make up my mind

Whether I could understand

A word you said

You took my hand and we walked out

I forgot to lock the door

You stood waiting in a long dark dress

I wished it could be permanent

I feel glamorous, do you?

With my shoes taking shots

Oh that sound of authority

You speak in Spanish

And I turn to watch the musicians play

Standing straight with their smiling eyes

I wished it could be permanent

I wondered what you would have done

If I had bought the ring

And decided to go down on one knee

And in an operatic voice

I would start singing with the band

It would be so mortifying

It makes me laugh

I wished it could be permanent

I wished it could be permanent

On the last day we were there

You said you wished we could stay

Boarded the plane and everything changed

I wished it could be permanent

I wished it could be permanent
