Analysis of Save Me A Place In Paradise
hot sunny days at the beach
with the scorching heat
and the ocean breeze
the summer skies
arrive just in time
with just a hint of lemon lime
i took a chance
and the golden sands
slipped in and out of my hands
no rainy days i'll be missing
i'm flying kites off in the distance
while i'm sharing ice-cream with the misses
angel-cakes we'll be eating
no one needs to be speaking
when each of our hearts are beating
the kids are building sand castles
as we watch the speeding boats
and the gentle flight of seagulls
the sway of the pine trees
in downtown miami
is just what i need
what i see, in front of me
is as close to paradise
as i'll ever be
