Sunblock Kisses
by Robert Ramage
Intro
She said, “Baby, don’t forget your sunblock today…”
I laughed and said, “Girl, you have no idea what you’re starting.”
Verse 1
She’s got that beach-town smile and those green-eyed waves
Golden light dancing where the shoreline breaks
I told her, “Sun and me don’t always get along”
I go from red to white before too long
She just laughed and brushed her hair from her face
Said, “Then let me help you… nice and slow today”
And suddenly the ocean didn’t have my attention
It was her touch pulling me in that direction
Chorus
Sunblock kisses underneath the summer sky
Her fingertips moving slow while the tide rolled by
And if she starts that fire, Lord knows I’m gonna fall
’Cause I won’t keep my hands off her at all
Yeah, it’s more than flirting, more than beachside heat
It’s those little real moments that knock me off my feet
Sunblock kisses… skin, sand, and sunlight wishes
Turning talk into something real
Verse 2
The radio was playing somewhere down the coast
But her whisper in my ear was what I heard the most
She said, “Maybe I’ll do your shoulders too”
I said, “Careful girl… I might return it back on you”
Now my heartbeat’s running faster than the waves
Trying hard to act cool while she’s driving me insane
And every little smile she throws my way
Makes me want forever in a one-day escape
Chorus
Sunblock kisses underneath the summer sky
Her fingertips moving slow while the tide rolled by
And if she starts that fire, Lord knows I’m gonna fall
’Cause I won’t keep my hands off her at all
Yeah, it’s more than flirting, more than beachside heat
It’s those little real moments that knock me off my feet
Sunblock kisses… skin, sand, and sunlight wishes
Turning talk into something real
Bridge
I’m tired of living through messages and screens
I want salty air and tangled-up dreams
I want her laughing while the sunset glows
Want something honest… something we can hold
And if she’s real enough to stand beside me there
Then maybe love ain’t disappearing air
Verse 3
Now the moon is hanging silver on the sea
And she’s laying there half tangled up with me
No more distance living inside my mind
No more wondering if love’s just a lie
Just her hand reaching over in the dark
And that little spark lighting up my heart
Funny how one playful thing she said
Turned into a song stuck inside my head
Chorus
Sunblock kisses underneath the summer sky
Her fingertips moving slow while the tide rolled by
And if she starts that fire, Lord knows I’m gonna fall
’Cause I won’t keep my hands off her at all
Yeah, it’s more than flirting, more than beachside heat
It’s those little real moments that knock me off my feet
Sunblock kisses… skin, sand, and sunlight wishes
Turning talk into something real
Outro
So baby bring the ocean… I’ll bring the sparks
You bring the sunshine… I’ll bring this heart
And maybe somewhere between the waves and the night
We stop being words…
And finally become real.
