Spanish on the Beach

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] I wished it Could be permanent [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] I wished it Could be permanent [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] I wished it Could be permanent I wished it Could be permanent [Verse 4] On the last day, we were there You said you wished we could stay Boarded the plane and everything changed [Chorus] I wished it Could be permanent I wished it Could be permanent
