Analysis of Down by the Sea
May we meet again,
Down by the sea,
Where the sun was shining,
On you and me.
We bathed in light,
And simplistic bliss,
As I gazed at you,
While we exchanged a kiss.
The water was cool,
As the waves came and went,
Hours and hours went by,
Worthwhile each were spent.
But now I must go,
So don't you fret,
I'll see you down by the sea,
Where we first met.
