When one of us is cold, we share so we both are warm
Walking along the beach across the sand
Looking up into the sky of perfect blue
Blowing in from the sea, a gentle breeze
Makes the incoming tide appear a little less calm
What keeps us so calm?
Yet allows us to show our feelings of love
Doesn't let us upset the breeze
Keeps our feeling inside all warm
Prevents our toes from turning blue
Yet allows us to run barefoot across the sand
Racing along the sand
Disturbing everyone's calm
The language is turning somewhat blue
Nobody is showing any signs of their love
The atmosphere is far from warm
It could be time to shoot the breeze
Today is quite a breeze
Kites are being chased across the sand
Despite the wind it is still warm
The sea is choppy far from calm
An adult watches the young flyers with parental love
The wind drops, likewise the kite, into the deep blue
Under the water, diving down deep into the blue
Far down here, away from the breeze
It is easy to feel natures love
Touching the bottom, disturbing the virgin sand
So deep all around so calm
You cannot fail to feel warm
Whatever you may do, as long as you are warm
Showing in your heart nothing blue
Whilst around you others may go mad, just stay calm
Flowing along on life's breeze
Writing letters in the sand
Expressing your feelings to the one you love
Speak clearly of your love, keep it warm
As you run across the sand, hand in hand, to a sea so blue
Creating your own breeze, amongst the calm
