Wasn't so long ago
That every year your family would rent a house
From June to Labor Day
Summer in Monterey
None of us wore no clothes
In Monterey our feet were bare our shorts
Were all we'd ever wear
And I would jump for joy that you were there
Take you to the movie show
Watching arm in arm
Used to hope the film would work its charm
Then you and I we'd saunter home
Far behind the crowd
Linger longer than your Ma and Pa had allowed
Never in love before
We couldn't wait to be alone to beat it to
The Ocean View Caf?
That was our hideaway
Summer in Monterey
Monterey Monterey
I would love the crazy world to always stay that way
Ocean breeze breaking seas
Out on the rocks around the widely curving bay
Summer in Monterey
