F C C7
The brochure said welcome to paradise...
C7 F
We did not rent an ocean view
F Bb F
The beach was steps away from the patio C C7 F
Each day I walked the sands of Longboat Key with you....
F C C7 F
A morning in paradise for two
F C C7
Lunch was always on the patio,
C7 C F
Under the shade of a palm or two
F Bb C




And the beach was only steps away
F C7 F
And we would watch the dolphins play in the waters off Longboat Key
Bb F C F
A few white clouds in that soft blue sky in that paradise, I'm in the moment and so are you Bb F C
No need to have an ocean view we'd return to our unmade bed and you and I'd do C7 F
What snowbirds do in paradise...
F C7 C F
An afternoon in paradise with you
F C C7
Twilight, on the soft warm sands of Longboat Key
C7 F
Crabs peek out from their hideouts of the day Bb F
And we all watched the white clouds turn to pink C C7 F
And the entire sky go softly grey Bb F
We watch the sun dissolve into the silvery sea C C7 F
Of the waters off the shores of Longboat Key
F C C7 F
Another day in paradise for me...

Really like this song Lynda....paradise indeed!

@reliablebow Thank you for listening Michael. I am trying to set up a new computer and then I will post a brief picked version.

[waterdog226]

Thanks for that comment! I enjoyed working this tune out. In a week or so I will post a mostly picked version. I need to get new strings on the uke I will use for that.

Well done, Lynda. Nice song and you have a lovely voice.

[waterdog226]

@KenMiddletonUkulele Thank you very much for those kind words. When you were in Nova Scotia, we were in Longboat Key! There was a bit of a glitch in the recording which was a disappointment. It took me so long to upload it because of the weather here. I did not want to risk doing another recording and having it refused by my bandwidth 'allowance' to upload.

Wonderful song, nice lyrics. Enjoyed it.

[waterdog226]

@IdahoLeLe I am glad you liked it and appreciate those nice words. I have always enjoyed traveling within the US as well as my country Canada. There are many paradises to enjoy.

What a beautiful song Lynda! I love the lyrics - you're a great songwriter. That uke sounds really nice too.

[MsKit1]

A wonderful song! Just perfect!

@waterdog226 Oh, I know what you mean. I get AV stuff if I *have* to, but I'd rather have another uke too! :-)
