Lyrics
STROLLING
Strolling with my darling,
Down along the bay.
Feeling very peaceful.
Lovely, sunny day.
Following the tide line,
Wander past a cave.
Watch the far horizon,
Over windy wave.
Breathing in the salt air,
Sand between the toes.
Seagulls soar and hover,
Rock pools overflow.
Oh, I do love to be
Down beside the seaside.
Oh, I do love to be
Down beside the sea.
Old dog goes exploring,
Catching up on life.
Finds a stranded sandshoe,
Handle of a knife.
Leaves them as he found them,
Wanders on his way.
Meets one of his own kind,
Has a short affray.
Both decide the coastline's
Big enough for two.
They get a whiff, then seek
Something else to do.
Oh, I do love to be. . .
Children scatter laughter
Far across the sand,
As they build a castle,
Looking very grand.
Made of shells and feathers,
Stones and bits of stick.
Any piece of flotsam
That will do the trick.
Life could not be better,
Haven't got a care,
Even though we're struggling
For our daily fare.
Oh, I do love to be. . .
Strolling with my darling,
Down along the bay.
Feeling very peaceful.
Lovely, sunny day.
Love binds us together,
Has for quite a while.
When I think about it,
I can only smile.
Oh, I do love to be. . .
