God gave me a café by the water
The seagulls stir above coffee drinkers
The atmosphere warm and jazzy
God gave me a biz down by the water
People take their shoes off and walk along the water
I can hear children playing in the water
I can smell coffee and cocoa
I smile at a lover
I smile at a child
I smile at a customer
I smile
I smile all the while
I smile because God gave me a café by the ocean
Palm trees sway and so do hammocks
Men play with their children
Women bath in the sun
Young and old drink up the fun
God gave me a café along the water
I love my café along the water
Where everybody knows my name
Thank you.
...a magical thing
