Sand On My Feet
Donna Summer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saw the sun come through my blinds
And I looked up on the porch
And found an owl shrieking by
But never could I have imagined
Such a place like this
And you're lyin' next to me
I wanna wake you with a kiss
And all the crazy things about you
That I so adore
Are the little things that keep me
Coming back for more
[Chorus]
And it feels like love, and it feels so good
I wanna feel like the roarin' thunder
Wanna be the heaven that your sky is under
Oh, I say, you say, oh (It's like love)
All that I need, baby it's true
The sand on my feet and you
I will go wherever you go
Take me where you lead
Lead me where you want
My heart doesn't know
Anything but what you say
You're the one for me
You make me feel complete
I can silent read your whisper
And my lips still feel your touch
And I'm oh so glad to be here
Oh so glad to be here
[Chorus]
And it feels like love, and it feels so good
I wanna feel like the roarin' thunder
Wanna be the heaven that your sky is under
Oh, I say, you say, oh (It's like love)
All that I need, baby it's true
The sand on my feet and you
But you and I have walked the oceans
Miles along the shore
And a thousand seagulls called on me
So we came right back for more
And I love to feel the water
It makes me feel so free
Underneath the purple sky
Every time you look at me
I reach up to forever
With the promises you keep
They fill me with such happiness
It makes my heart believe
[Chorus]
And it feels like love, and it feels so good
I wanna feel like the roarin' thunder
Wanna be the heaven that your sky is under
Oh, I say, you say, oh (It's like love)
All that I need, baby it's true
The sand on my feet and you
How many lovers
Have walked along the shore before
Before you and I
How many said goodbye

This may not be the Donna Summer that some remember, but it's who I remember, because Donna has always been versatile and not just a dance music artist. Her versatility in music genre and vocal presentation is what stands her out from the rest of the female singers, in my opinion.
