She comes to my bed like a whisper

Slips in the sheet like a ghost

Says to my ear "hey mister

You need to take this girl to the coast



I need to kick my feet up in the ocean

Feel the taste of salt sea spray

Baby let's live in the moment

Cause it feels like life is taking the moment away



Let's seize the dayseize the dayseize the day"



In the kitchen in the morning

She poured coffee in my favorite cup

She's been dancing on the linoleum-- bare foot

The squeaking nearly woke me up



She put tom jones on the stereo

- now that I could do without

Ahbut who needs perfection? 

I like the tension when there's room for doubt¡­



Seize the dayseize the dayseize the day

Seize the dayseize the dayseize the day



She brought some pensa couple of notebooks

A postcarda blanketa bottle of merlot

And the sky provided the sunset

Me - I brought the music of nat king cole.

"and I'd come back as a sea-gull" I said

"if in the next life they'd give you the choice..."

"i'd come back with you--we could go flying"

She said" you'd hear me raise my voiceto¡­



Seize the dayseize the dayseize the day

Seize the dayseize the dayseize the day"
