Your beauty took my breath away,
in awe all day,
your company was so relaxing,
easy going ways,
we saw the first signs of summer and springtime change,
walking barefoot along the sand,
i hadn't planned to stay

yeah we've been walking barefoot
all summer
it'll be sad my friend
to see it come to an end
why can't we just quit

you are broke all summer
but you still sing
don't need money when it's sunny,
don't need anything
just need music and sun and laughter
and no currency
the sun on your bare shoulders,
comes for free

yeah we've been walking barefoot
all summer
it'll be sad my friend
to see it come to and end
why can't we just quit
yeah we've been walking barefoot
all summer
why can't we just design
to live like this all the time
why can't we just quit

sand ran through my fingers
and the land was hot
anointed by appolo
and his chariot
disarmed by your charm,
that night i felt it again
addictive and consuming,
love's sweet pain

yeah we've been walking barefoot
all summer
it'll be sad my friend
to see it come to an end
why can't we just quit

our days are as the wind blows us,
we are free
you've a quiet life out of town
of coastal ease
the wind it has no pattern,
we take life slow
and when the night has fallen,
our cup overflows

when the summer's gone
and the room is cold
when you're looking at the rain
and it just won't go
remember when the sun was hot
and high above
remember when the days were long
and we were in love

yeah we've been walking barefoot
all summer
it'll be sad my friend
to see it come to an end
why can't we just quit
yeah we've been walking barefoot
all summer
why can't we just design
to live like this all the time
why can't we just quit
