So hold me close, my darling Beatriz

The sun comes up on Carolina shores, and a brand new day begins

I’m awake before the birds, just thinkin’ of where you’ve been

Through all my dreams, my lovely Beatriz, you’re the only one I see

Wakin’ up to your gentle smile is all I’ll ever need

Just sittin’ on the porch swing, feelin’ that ocean breeze

It’s moments like these, my darlin’, that put my heart at ease
