Maybe it’s you, maybe it’s me
Maybe it’s just the constant rhythm of the sea
Maybe it’s just that I’ve never been the kind
Who can pass a lucky penny by

Maybe it’s wise, maybe it’s not
Maybe it’s you who brought me caring I forgot
Isn’t it nice to talk about the special way
That you smile whenever I’m around

Rising on the shore the ocean came
Walks along the waves of velveteen
His only thought was love for me

Couldn’t we stay, or must you go
Couldn’t we stay and watch the splashing rocks we throw
Only a fool would want to leave the paradise
That I find whenever you’re around
Only a fool
