I’d like to sail the seas with you, or climb the mountains high,
Or get on board a rocket, cutie, and jet beyond the misty sky.
It doesn’t matter where we are, that day can’t come too soon,
As long as we’re together, tutti, we’re on a sunshine honeymoon.

Sunshine, sunshine honeymoon,
Spoon and croon, July to June,
Sunshine honeymoon each year,
As long as we’re together, dear.

I’d like to sail the seas with you, but drowning, lost in thought,
Keep throwing out those life lines, honey, eventually I will be caught,
Just reel me in, my angel love, pull up into the air,
And navigate to where it’s sunny; our secret island love affair.

Sunshine, sunshine honeymoon,
Spoon and croon, July to June,
Sunshine honeymoon each year,
As long as we’re together, dear.

Don’t ever let me float away,
But keep me anchored in your bay,
We’ll lay out on the sandy beach,
Careless of all that’s out of reach.

Sunshine, sunshine honeymoon,
Spoon and croon, July to June,
Sunshine honeymoon each year,
As long as we’re together, dear.

Note: The initial thought behind this song (pulling my circling thoughts back to my wife walking with me) led me somewhere I never really expected to go. Because of this, I had to go back and rewrite and reorder a lot for it to make sense, but I think it came out stronger, with a more hopeful, old-fashioned, and still wholly honest, song. I’m thinking of setting it in a 1920-40s style.
