Sunblock kisses

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.
