She was dark and lovely
Laying on the beach,
she was tired of being
everybody's favorite peach
She wanted a way out of reach,
she gave it up for a sunny day
She tried Port -au -Prince and Barcelona
She tried the big island and Rio de Janeiro
She met a man in Quito,
he took her all the way home
I found her at the Jersey Shore
I found her at the Jer sey Shore
You can feel it in your heartbeat
Life is short and sweet
You can feel it in your heartbeat
Life is short and sweet
There's an other way around
It always starts with a dream
Everybody lives like there's
no way to turn
The things that we do,
it's just what we learn
And they come
straight down,
they're very concerned
We don't deviate
Tell me what's to say
We don't act a little strange
Take a different road,
one that's not been paved
Make a new home in this world
without shade
And make it colorful
Let's make it colorful
You can feel it in your heartbeat
Life is short and sweet
You can feel it in your heartbeat
Life is short and sweet
There's another way around
It always starts with a dream
With a dream
With a dream
We've got credit cards and pensions
And the worldwide wealth
We take no vacation
And we're way overfed
Time is a luxury
You get it when you're dead
Don't it sound like the way it is?
Don't it sound like the way it is?
You can feel it in your heartbeat
Life is short and sweet
You can feel it in your heartbeat
Life is short and sweet
You can feel it in your heartbeat
Life is short and sweet
There's another way around it
There's another way around it
There's another way around it
It always starts with a dream
What do you dream?
What do you dream?
