Van dyke parks



Wasn't so long ago

That every year your family

Would rent a house from june to labor day

Summer in monterey

None of us wore no clothes

In monterey our feet were bare

Our shorts were all we'd ever wear

And i would jump for joy that you were there



Take you to the movie show

Watching arm in arm

Used to hope the film would work its charm

Then

You and i we'd saunter home

Far behind the crowd

Linger longer than your ma and pa had allowed



Never in love before

We couldn't wait to be alone

To beat it to the ocean view cafe

That was our hideaway

Summer in monterey



Monterey oh monterey

Monterey oh monterey

I would love the crazy world to always stay that way

Ocean breeze

Breaking seas

Out on the rocks around the windy curving bay

Summer in monterey



Ocean breeze

Breaking seas

Out on the rocks around the windy curving bay

Summer in monterey
