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. . .
