Verse 1:
Knew i could never hold that girl.
she was born to see the world.
all i got is a picture she mailed me.
barefoot in the snow white sand;
a bag of sea shells in her hand.
she finally found a paradise it seems...

chorus:
On the coast of somewhere beautiful,
trade winds blowin' through her hair,
sunlight dancin' on the water,
and i wish i was there.
don't know how i'm gonna find her,
all i know so far...
she's on the coast of somewhere beautiful,
runnin' with my heart.

verse 2:
Sometimes when the sun goes down
shadows fall across this little town,
and i close my eyes and i drift away
to another place in another time,
when the world was ours and she was mine,
i dream of holdin' her again someday...
(chorus)
Don't know how i'm gonna to find her,
all i know so far...
she's on the coast of somewhere beautiful,
runnin with my heart.
Oh, she's runnin' with my heart.
On the coast of somewhere beautiful.
