**[Verse 1]**
We left a beach resort in the car, watching a beautiful sunset.
In the passenger seat, her face looked melancholic, illuminated by the fading light.
**[Pre-Chorus 1]**
“Hi, I just had a good idea! Will you marry me? That way, next year’s summer never has to end,” she proposed, suggesting endless meetings.
**[Chorus 1]**
We vowed eternal love at a little church right away.
Our summer vacation will never have to end.
The memories we created guided us in living our perfect, happy lives.
**[Verse 2]**
We climbed the stairs of happiness one step at a time each year.
After 20 years, one day she said, “I can’t climb a step,” her face pale.
**[Pre-Chorus 2]**
The next morning, she went to a neighborhood clinic.
“I went to University Hospital,” she messaged me on my smartphone.
**[Chorus 2]**
The doctor told us, “Your wife has leukemia, and she has a 10% chance of surviving after two and a half years.”
It felt like a death sentence.
**[Instrumental Solo]**
**[Verse 3]**
Two and a half years after her diagnosis, at the end of summer, while she was no longer unconscious, I held a small bottle of sand. I played the song from that summer on my smartphone and said, “I’m sorry it’s just a small beach.”
**[Pre-Chorus 3]**
I implored the doctor, “Please keep her alive.” But she passed away shortly after, despite undergoing a hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
**[Chorus 3]**
We vowed eternal love at a little church immediately.
Our summer vacation will never have to end.
Her grave is on a hill overlooking the sea so she can remember our summer vacation.
**[Instrumental Solo]**
**[Final Chorus]**
We vowed eternal love at a little church right away.
Our summer vacation will never have to end.
We vowed eternal love at a little church immediately.
Our summer vacation will never have to end.
**[Fade Out]**
**Sound**: A bright tune with a jazz fusion pop vibe, featuring a lively tempo. The music includes crisp 16-beat drums and a light, bouncing slap bass. A sharp guitar sets the rhythm, while refreshing sounds from the Fender Rhodes and synthesizers evoke images of sparkling sunlight and sea spray. A beautiful brass section mirrors the piercing blue sky, and the male vocals are complemented by a relaxed female harmony, creating a summery openness. Instrumental solos feature an expressive alto saxophone ad-libbing over the chord changes, followed by a tasteful and melodic jazz-fusion piano solo.
