Sailors Hat

Got a ticket for Christmas Hawaii with family Never thought at seventeen A lifetime memory When he sat right next to me Last seat was chemistry Young love on blue ocean waves Don't let it drift away Just as we landed the conversation grew He said don't you worry I'll be calling you I got a lei and a red sundress that I wore in a picture with my mama on Na Pali Coast Postcard blank address Stamp on my boarding pass Sunburned skin a jar of shells and Hawaiian sand He took my heart and never even gave it back Just left me with these souvenirs and a sailors hat He called me about midnight Wished me a Happy New Year Asked if I'd like a tour round The island and the pier It was the safest I'd ever felt On a train to China Town Morning came packed up my things The days had numbered down Remembering the tears behind his blue eyes The best time id known was in paradise I got a lei and a red sundress that I wore in a picture with my mama on Na Pali Coast Postcard blank address Stamp on my boarding pass Sunburned skin a jar of shells and Hawaiian sand He took my heart and never even gave it back Just left me with these souvenirs and a sailors hat
