Lyrics
Long Beach
Never thought I'd be singing About beautiful Long Beach Never dreamed I could ever Be so inclined Now I find myself living And dying in Long Beach If it's true What's that do To my whole point of view I am singing Every day 'bout the breezes and sunshine How the harbor's alive With laughter and wine Where the dolphins and seals Will play into night time In an ocean that feels Like it's mine Never met anyone Who said they're from Long Beach Not until I fell down And found myself here Now it seems everyone I depend on is in reach Here at home, a place they hold dear I am singing Every day About the faces of friendship How the strong helping hands Will not go away Where the friendliest smile You may find on a stranger Or aboard as a ship sails away I am singing Every day In a chorus of solos In a passionate way That brings harmonies All along Long Beach Bay You can pick up the echoes Of the spirits who beckon Beckon you stay
