Spanish on the Beach

You spoke in Spanish on the beach I tried to make up my mind Whether I could understand A word you said You took my hand and we walked out I forgot to lock the door You stood waiting in a long dark dress I wished it could be permanent I feel glamorous, do you? With my shoes taking shots Oh that sound of authority You speak in Spanish And I turn to watch the musicians play Standing straight with their smiling eyes I wished it could be permanent I wondered what you would have done If I had bought the ring And decided to go down on one knee And in an operatic voice I would start singing with the band It would be so mortifying It makes me laugh I wished it could be permanent I wished it could be permanent On the last day we were there You said you wished we could stay Boarded the plane and everything changed I wished it could be permanent I wished it could be permanent
