Lyrics
[Intro] [Acoustic guitar and light steel drum introduction, slow and easy groove] [Verse 1] Sitting in the shade of a coconut tree Strumming four strings, singing wild and free She looks around with a sunny smile Telling everybody, "stay a little while" There’s no need to run, no need to rush Just feel the warm sand, soft as a brush [Chorus] Oh, the simple life in the golden sun A little bit of music for everyone With a song in the air and the tide coming in This is where the good times begin Just the breeze in the leaves and the salt on your tongue Keep your spirit happy, keep your heart young [Verse 2] The waves roll out and the waves roll back No schedule to keep, no bags to pack She sings of the water, so clear and blue A little bit of sunshine is good for you The sea breeze is cooling, the day is long And everyone is joining her sweet little song [Chorus] Oh, the simple life in the golden sun A little bit of music for everyone With a song in the air and the tide coming in This is where the good times begin Just the breeze in the leaves and the salt on your tongue Keep your spirit happy, keep your heart young [Guitar and ukulele solo] [Melodic, breezy acoustic solos over a relaxed bassline] [Outro] As the sun goes down in a peach-colored sky She plays a last chord and waving goodbye Simple pleasures, the sand and the sea That’s all we need, just you and me [Outro fade with gentle percussion]
