01. Tropical Holiday
John Puckett
Driving home tonight through another traffic jam Eight-to-four, five days a week Girl, it’s time we made some plans And take a trip somewhere Maybe the islands or the coast To spend some time alone with you That’s what I need the most We’ll put the world on hold and slip away To the white, sandy beaches of Montego Bay We’ll be upwardly mobile castaways On a tropical holiday We should have done this long ago, my love, I swear We’ve been so busy climbing the corporate ladder to God-knows-where Investing in all these things we own, but not into ourselves It’s like we’re burnin’ the candle from both ends And just watching as it melts Let’s put the world on hold and slip away To the white, sandy beaches of Montego Bay We’ll be upwardly mobile castaways On a tropical holiday You and I can leave all our cares behind As we ease our way into a paradise state of mind A sweet sangria, ocean breeze, warm water, oh so blue And every day and night, my love, will belong to me and you As we celebrate together on that lovely tropic shore Then all of life’s little aggravations won’t seem to matter anymore We’ll put the world on hold and slip away To the white, sandy beaches of Montego Bay We’ll be upwardly mobile castaways On a tropical holiday We’ll put the world on hold and slip away To the white, sandy beaches of Montego Bay We’ll be upwardly mobile castaways On a tropical holiday

03. Sea Glass
John Puckett
My life was aimless And I floated like a bottle of rum Tossed into the sea Sunk to the bottom Lost all hope in life that I’d ever find A little sunbeam Oh, how I crumbled, rolled, and I tumbled My colors fading in the deep The Lord, He heard me He rescued me, and cured me Then delivered me unto this beach Now I’m like Sea Glass, tumbled by the ocean After many years of soakin’ I’m sparkling in the sun Sea glass, my edges have been mellowed I’m a new and different fellow For I have overcome! Here in Jamaica, I made so many mistake-a, you see Lived like an ol’ drunken clam So many mornings I would wake under the old palm tree Hung-over, covered with sand All of that drinkin’ had left me sinkin’ Just stumbling drunk along the beach But I was saved, Mon Dah perfect wave come Yes, the good Lord, He had something to teach And now I’m just like Sea Glass, tumbled by the ocean After many years of soakin’ I’m sparkling in the sun Sea glass, my edges have been mellowed I’m a new and different fellow For I have overcome! Sea Glass, tumbled by the ocean After many years of soakin’ I’m sparkling in the sun Sea glass, my edges have been mellowed I’m a new and different fellow For I have overcome!

05. Mysterious Girl
John Puckett
Like an angel, she appeared in the night On a moonlit beach, with eyes that seemed to invite She was silhouetted by a sky full of stars Lighting the way to dreams that always seemed so far From my world, I want to reach out and touch My mysterious girl, like a pearl, in an ocean so deep My mysterious girl I stood there wondering just where this might lead A desperate hope? Or some impossible need? Then she nodded, as if reading my mind Her eyes they tempted, our thoughts, they intertwined Let’s take a whirl into that ocean so deep My mysterious girl, with sails unfurled Just let the wind carry us, my mysterious girl She was a dream, and I fell deeply into her spell To a place so beautiful -- but where it was, I just could not tell Only just an illusion, she was gone in the night On that moonlit beach, there was no one in sight Just a lonely man in search of something he had So long ago, so far away, and so sad Like a pearl, in an ocean so deep, that mysterious girl His mind a swirl, so lost in uncharted waters For his mysterious girl Just want to reach out and touch that mysterious girl In an ocean so deep, that mysterious girl

John Puckett
Together on this day, among our families and our friends Our love for all to see My lady, I believe that there's no man alive today Luckier than me, who’s luckier than me For since the day we met, you've been the beat within my heart Steadfast and true A companion for life, so soon to be my wife You’re my best friend too, you’re my best friend too We're remembering the past, inventing the new Today we celebrate as the bride and the groom And tomorrow we'll wake up as husband and wife And set our sails to head into the ocean of life With love as our compass, we'll weather the seas And safely find our way, as together we fulfill our destinies Of all things in this world There's been no greater gift I've known Than what you've given me Though times it seemed that I was undeserving of the love You gave so faithfully, you gave so faithfully So let us leave behind the separate lives that we have known And join them as one There’s nothing we cannot do, together, me and you While we're still young, and we're still young We'll be writing a story that time can't erase Beginning here today, with the vows we embrace And tomorrow we'll wake up as husband and wife And set our sails to head into the ocean of life With love as our compass, we'll weather the seas And safely find our way, as together we fulfill our destinies

11. Lets Do Sunset
John Puckett
You and I, through all these years We’ve had our struggles, we’ve had our tears But here tonight, the sky is clear And the sun is sinking low We’re older now, our summer’s passed The years have flown by way too fast But through it all, we made it last And now we stand in the afterglow On this beach, at the end of the day Holdin’ hands as the afternoon slips away We keep our eyes on the horizon There’s nothing to say -- only, Darlin’ Let’s do sunset together We have braved the stormy weather And through the years It’s just gotten better between us Let’s do sunset together You and I, we’re birds of a feather And every day is one we can treasure forever, together Let’s do sunset together Our love has mellowed, it has a soft voice It’s not just a feeling, it’s simply a choice And over time, we’ve learned to enjoy the simpler things in life We’ve raised our children, but now they’re gone So long ago, back in the dawn We had a good life, and the day was long But I still have my best friend We move forward in the waning light As we walk upon this beach tonight We keep our eyes on the horizon It’s a beautiful sight. Oh, my Darlin’ Let’s do sunset together We have braved the stormy weather And through the years It’s just gotten better between us Let’s do sunset together You and I, we’re birds of a feather And every day is one we can treasure forever, together Let’s do sunset together Let’s do sunset together Let’s do sunset

12. Beautiful Rainy Day
John Puckett
There’s a storm out over the water It’s headin’ this way The coming rain has spoiled the plans Of many today They’ve put their sunblock and their towels Back on the shelf Would you look at this, Darlin’ Now we’ve got the beach to ourselves It’s a beautiful, a beautiful rainy day Let’s walk hand in hand together Along the shore And turn our faces toward the sky As it begins to pour We can catch all those raindrops so sweet On the tips of our tongues We can set aside our inhibitions Like when we were young ‘Cause it’s a beautiful, a beautiful rainy day It’s a beautiful, a beautiful rainy day Rainy day Somewhere deep inside are the children That we used to be Longing to enjoy the moments So simple and free We’re soaking wet and laughing like fools In the summer rain Stretching out our arms and just spinning Like a weather vane Yeah We could yell at the top of our lungs And no one would know Years of pent-up restraint Just letting it go Time has passed, and we got older And tried to be wise Then we forgot how to view the world With innocent eyes Well, it’s a beautiful, a beautiful rainy day It’s a beautiful, a beautiful rainy day Why should we have to lose the joy and wonder We had back in our younger days And replace it with such cool formality We can have the best of times, despite a blue sky That’s quickly turned to gray As we journey through the pouring rain along the sea Most people have the good sense to come in From out of the rain But today they’re missing out on the sounds Of the ocean’s refrain As the waves harmonize so gently with the rainfall and wind Inviting us to rediscover the children within It’s a beautiful, a beautiful rainy day It’s a beautiful, a beautiful rainy day It’s a beautiful, a beautiful rainy day Rainy day
