[Verse 1]
“Where are we going today?” she asked me, her eyes sparkling as she handed me her car key. “To the white sand beach!” I replied as I took it. “Sounds fun,” she said with a smile, wearing a thin dress, and her long black hair blowing in the wind. During our second date, she seemed relaxed.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
“We’ll get to the beach in 1 hour and 27 minutes, along a country road with little traffic and almost no traffic lights,” I explained to her.
[Chorus 1]
“Did you bring your swimsuit?” she asked with a mischievous look.
“Of course!” I responded.
“What kind of swimsuit did you bring?” I inquired in return.
“I’m too embarrassed to say,” she replied, brushing her hair away.
“Oh, is it really that embarrassing? Just thinking about it makes me faint.”
[Verse 2]
Fluffy white clouds floated high in the blue sky. The sunlight, reminiscent of midsummer, shone brightly. The sea created white waves that washed upon the sandy beach. Amidst all this, she looked beautiful and enchanting, like a goddess who had descended from the heavens, and I was completely mesmerized.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
There were many people on the white sandy beach, but I only had eyes for her. As we walked together, she gave me a captivating smile, like a goddess.
[Chorus 2]
“I’m glad it’s sunny today, but there are a lot of people,” she said.
“It’s summer now, so that can’t be helped,” I replied.
“What should we do next? It’s hot; do you want to have a cold drink and take a break?” she suggested.
“Yeah, I’m tired from driving, so let’s take a break,” I agreed.

[Verse 3]
After resting and feeling refreshed, I asked her, “Shall we change into our swimsuits?”
“Yes,” she replied. I quickly changed, and a little while later, she emerged in her swimsuit.
“What do you think of me in my swimsuit?” she asked. I was captivated by her stunning figure.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Despite the crowd on the beach, my eyes were only for her. As she walked beside me, she gave me another dazzling smile, like a goddess.
[Chorus 3]
“Don’t stare at me like that; your gaze will burn holes in me.”
“I can’t take my eyes off you. I want to look at you forever.”
“Don’t stare at me like that; your gaze will burn holes in me.”
“I can’t take my eyes off you. I want to look at you forever.”
[Final-Chorus]
“Don’t stare at me like that; your gaze will burn holes in me.”
“I can’t take my eyes off you. I want to look at you forever.”
“Don’t stare at me like that; your gaze will burn holes in me.”
“I can’t take my eyes off you. I want to look at you forever.”

**Guitars & Keys:** A clean, compressed electric guitar plays flowing, chorus-laden chords, creating a shimmering water-like effect. The main melody is carried by a smooth, lyrical Rhodes-style electric piano, with a lush synthesizer pad providing a warm atmospheric backdrop.
**Horns & Vocals:** During the chorus, a punchy horn section reminiscent of Earth, Wind & Fire adds excitement and flair. The lead vocals are smooth tenor, supported by harmonized high-pitched male and female backing vocals. The vocals feature long, spacious reverb and subtle echo, imparting an ethereal, dreamy quality.
**Solos:** The instrumental solos highlight an expressive alto saxophone ad-libbing over the chord changes, followed by a tasteful and melodic jazz-fusion guitar solo.
