We said goodbye in Marina del Rey "I had a good time" Was the last thing I heard her say As I walked away And on the plane back to Tennessee My mind comes across her memory And yesterday In Marina del Rey [Chorus] On a hidden beach under a golden sun She spread a blanket that we laid down on And loved the world away In Marina del Rey And as we looked into each others' eyes We were lost in paradise Like two castaways In Marina del Rey Like the ocean tide's highs and lows Love sometimes comes and goes away In Marina del Rey And as this plane is touchin' down Tears touch my eyes for I have found My heart has stayed In Marina del Rey [Chorus] We said goodbye In Marina del Ray
