Lyrics

I think I make it clear whenever we call
I really truly miss bein with you all
Finally we're together, our whole family
Delightful days, at the beach, by the sea

Nothing could ever please me more
Than soakin up rays in the gulf breeze
Watchin you smile and laugh while you're just
Runnin, funnin, sunnin on the shore

There is no place I'd rather be
Than at Port Aransas by the sea
In that ferry wonderland
With all my treasures in the sand

Strolling down the jetty with the pelicans
Walk across rock blocks, careful as we can
There's catfish, dead fish, and dolphins
Sea turtles, sea birds, I love the ocean.

Hovering seagulls eatin from our hands
Holes, tunnels, castles, buried in the sand
Flyin kites, Frisbees, sun screen, tans,
Swimmin, Skim ‘n Boogie board, life is grand!

Nothing could ever please me more
Than soakin up rays in the gulf breeze
Watchin you smile and laugh while you're just
Runnin, funnin, sunnin on the shore

There is no place I'd rather be
Than at Port Aransas by the sea
In that ferry wonderland
With all my treasures in the sand

It's so sad when it's over and I
Have to go home and say good bye.
I can't wait for that special time when
We get back together and do this again.

Nothing could ever please me more
Than soakin up rays in the gulf breeze
Watchin you smile and laugh while you're just
Runnin, funnin, sunnin on the shore

There is no place I'd rather be
Than at Port Aransas by the sea
In that ferry wonderland
With all my treasures in the sand

There is no place I'd rather be than
At Port Aransas
At Port Aransas
At Port Aransas by the sea

Track Notes
---------------------------------------
As a family, we really like going to the beach at Port Aransas, TX. My wife said I ought to make a song out about it, here it is. This is definitely inspired by and written from my wife's point of view.

I actually made two versions, this one and a family one. The family one is longer, because it goes through a list of all the extended family we get to be with when we go. The song is afterall, about being with them at the beach. For time constraint and privacy reasons, this album version omits all that, plus, most folks besides us don't want a list of family members (even though it is put to music and is fun for us to watch the family version video).
