Your beauty took my breath away,

in awe all day,

your company was so relaxing,

easy going ways,

we saw the first signs of summer and springtime change,

walking barefoot along the sand,

i hadn't planned to stay



yeah we've been walking barefoot

all summer

it'll be sad my friend

to see it come to an end

why can't we just quit



you are broke all summer

but you still sing

don't need money when it's sunny,

don't need anything

just need music and sun and laughter

and no currency

the sun on your bare shoulders,

comes for free



yeah we've been walking barefoot

all summer

it'll be sad my friend

to see it come to and end

why can't we just quit

yeah we've been walking barefoot

all summer

why can't we just design

to live like this all the time

why can't we just quit



sand ran through my fingers

and the land was hot

anointed by appolo

and his chariot

disarmed by your charm,

that night i felt it again

addictive and consuming,

love's sweet pain



yeah we've been walking barefoot

all summer

it'll be sad my friend

to see it come to an end

why can't we just quit



our days are as the wind blows us,

we are free

you've a quiet life out of town

of coastal ease

the wind it has no pattern,

we take life slow

and when the night has fallen,

our cup overflows



when the summer's gone

and the room is cold

when you're looking at the rain

and it just won't go

remember when the sun was hot

and high above

remember when the days were long

and we were in love



yeah we've been walking barefoot

all summer

it'll be sad my friend

to see it come to an end

why can't we just quit

yeah we've been walking barefoot

all summer

why can't we just design

to live like this all the time

why can't we just quit
