Gene Mitchell - Hello Sandpiper Lyrics
I don't recall just how it happenedI had just woke up from nappingOn that island under that palm treeThe sun was hot, humidity steamingAt first I thought I was still dreamingMy eyes were tired, but I could clearly seeYou were there among sandpipersYou walked smooth, they were hyperRunning back and forth to dodge the wavesNormally, I would have been muteYou looked so good in your swimsuitI just found it easy to be brave, and saidChorus 1"Hello, Sandpiper, what is it you're looking forWhy search the whole beach, no need to look any more"You said, "I hear you, you are a man of clever wordsBut are you talking to me or talking to the birds"Verse 2Right then I saw no reasonFor me to keep on believingYou would give me some of your timeBut then I saw you smilingSo I thought I would keep tryingTo see if I might just change your mindSo I said, "I meant you no harmDidn't mean to set off your alarmI promise I will take things much more slow"You said, "Tell me how is it you knewMy friends call me Sandpiper tooI think we'll share some time before I go," I saidChorus 2Hello, sandpiper, what is it you're looking forWhy search the whole beach, no need to look any moreYou said, "Be patient, I am very hard to catchSomething could be cooking here and we might be a match"InstrumentalVerse 3So, the day it lingered onAnd like the birds, time it had flownThe sun kept smiling down upon the sceneSoon the day turned to eveningChemistry, it kept on steamingBoth of us started to believeThat this day was the start of bondingSo much we had in commonWe just could not end it there and thenNow the years have proved that some daysSandpipers do not run awayEach morning I can say to you againChorus 3Hello, Sandpiper, Hello, SandpiperHello, Sandpiper, Hello, Sandpiper
