Title: “Sea Salt Sky”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
C G Am Em
Underneath the sea salt sky, we used to dream, you and I.
F C G
In the waves, we’d lose our fears, and in the sand, we’d hide our tears.
(Verse 2)
C G Am Em
We’d dance on shores when moon was high, with no care for the passing time.
F C G
With the sea breeze tousling our hair, in the moonlight, we’d cast our cares.
(Chorus)
F C G Am Em
Oh, the sea salt sky, where our dreams learned to fly,
F C G
In the silence of the night, under the sea salt sky.
(Verse 3)
C G Am Em
In our hearts, we hold the sea, its rhythm playing a sweet symphony.
F C G
As the tide ebbs and flows, so does life, as everybody knows.
(Chorus)
F C G Am Em
Under the sea salt sky, we found love, you and I,
F C G
And as the stars sparkle ever high, our love lives under the sea salt sky.
