You promised you would never leave but then you walked away
Enough tears to fill an ocean pouring out of me every night and every day
But then a message in a bottle washed up along the shore
I opened it and as I read it, I felt as if I could hear your voice beyond the waves that roar
That sweet, soothing voice that I once knew and adored

You said to meet you by Sweetheart Rock
By boat, by train, by plane, I would do whatever it takes so that we could talk
When I saw your eyes I melted but then remembered you left and I wanted to scream
You let me vent, you let me cry while you just occasionally chuckled which made me steam

When I was finally silent, you waited a minute before you began
Then you told me how you sent that message in a bottle so we could meet at this romantic rock, walk along the beach, and hold hands
“It must be love,” you said, “You traveled across the ocean just to tell me off”
You then sealed our love with a kiss on top of Sweetheart Rock
And with that you pulled me into your firm chest to watch the sun set
