I look at our kids
I look at my wife
I think to myself
What a wonderful life
We have a house
A couple of cars
I feel so grateful
as I stare at the stars
And I know time is moving
faster than I’d like
I know it’s been a while since
I’ve been on my bike
I also know all of this
is what I’d dream about
As I’d head out with my friends
night after night
Searching for the one
with sweetness and light
At bars nearby
the beach in Seabright
I didn’t see her comin’
but I fell hard & fast
I was confident & cool
Prayin’ we would last
And I sure as hell got lucky
We’ve now been together for so long
When I think we’re gonna break up
I discover I’m so, so wrong
And I know time is moving
faster than desired
II know it’ll be a while
before we’re retired
I also know all of this
is what I hoped for as a teen
As I’d go out with my friends
on Saturday nights
Looking for more
than sweetness and light
At those bonfires on
the beach in Seabright
I look at our kids
and who I’ve become
I didn’t end up where
Mom & Dad were from
This journey I’m on
with my loving family
is the best damn thing
That’s happened to me
And I know time is moving
faster than I’d like
It’s been a while since
I’ve ridden that bike
I also know all of this is
all I’d ever need or want
Someday I’ll take them all to
that yacht harbor restaurant
Where I’d admire everyone
with sweetness and light
who grew up like me at
that beach in Seabright
Who grew up like me at
that beach in Seabright
