I can see the setting sun;
A glowing ball of fire;
Now that the day is done;
I wish the one I love was with me;
Sitting right here by my side;
Building castles in the sand;
While watching the evening tide;
The cabana awaits me;
But I don't want to be alone;
I am ready to say goodbye;
But I don't want to come home;
The emptiness would be too much;
It would be more than I could ever bear;
At least I have the shade of a washy palm;
The sand and the salty air;
I can hear the crickets singing;
As I am headed off to bed;
I hear the pounding of the ocean;
As the sky turns into red;
Then I remember that You love me;
Why is this so hard to believe?
You formed me out of nothing;
Like the earth and like the sea;
Then I feel myself smile inside;
As I close the door behind;
The fragrance of sweet orchids;
Permeates my mind;
Then to sleep o sweet and dreamy;
As I close my eyes;
I wonder will I wake tomorrow;
To sun or stormy skies;
In the end, it doesn't matter;
Each day is a gift for free;
My comfort is the love letter;
That You have left for me;
O I can see the beauty;
Of the love You give to me;
painted on the sunset sky;
and reflecting off the sea
