Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah… mmhmm
Salt-air kind of love…
Let’s go.
[Verse 1]
Red sun droppin’ low on a shoreline sky,
You’re laughin’ like the whole world’s doin’ just fine,
Flip-flops in the sand, little radio tune,
Heart on my sleeve and a ring in my palm too.
I’ve held this feelin’ back, tried to play it cool,
But every wave rollin’ in keeps tellin’ me the truth—
If there’s a “right time,” it’s right now, tonight,
On Valentine under tiki-light shine.
[Pre-Chorus]
So I took a breath, let my courage speak,
Knew my whole life changed in a heartbeat…
[Chorus]
So I said, “Baby, will you be my forever?
Be my always, be my warm-weather?
Let’s turn this beach into a front-porch dream,
You and me, wild and sweet.
I don’t need a diamond to know what’s true—
But I brought one anyway, ‘cause I’m all-in on you.
Here in the moonlight, with the tide pullin’ through,
I’m down on one knee—say you do.”
[Verse 2]
Your eyes went wide and you shook your head slow,
Like you couldn’t believe what you just got told,
Then you pulled me up, held my face in your hands,
Said, “Girl, I’ve been prayin’ for you in every grain of sand.”
You said, “Yes” like thunder rollin’ soft and deep,
And I felt that “yes” go straight through me—
Like the ocean finally found its shore,
Like I was home forevermore.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And you said, “I’m yours, no doubts, no maybe,”
I started cryin’ and laughin’, “Oh, baby…”
[Chorus]
‘Cause I said, “Baby, you’re my forever,
My best days, my warm-weather.
Let’s turn this beach into a front-porch dream,
You and me, wild and free.
I don’t need a diamond to know what’s true—
But I brought one anyway, ‘cause I’m all-in on you.
Here in the moonlight, with the tide pullin’ through,
I’m down on one knee—now we do.”
[Bridge]
No fancy ballroom, no city lights,
Just your heartbeat matchin’ the waves tonight,
A little sand on your shirt, my hair in a mess,
But I swear this moment’s the prettiest dress.
If love’s a map, we found our way,
Two sunset souls on a holiday—
And I’m thankin’ God for the kind of man
Who says “yes” and means it with everything he am.
[Final Chorus]
Yeah, you’re my forever, my forever,
My always, my warm-weather.
We’ll build our life where the palms lean in,
With a little gold band and a whole lotta grin.
I don’t need perfect—just honest and true,
And you gave me your heart, so I’m givin’ you mine too.
Here in the moonlight, with the tide pullin’ through,
On Valentine’s Day…
You said yes—
And I do.
[Outro]
Mm… my forever love.
Right here… right now… always.
