Sally wake up you don't have to pretend anymore
                                                                                    
'Cause while you were sleeping I drove us to someplace the weather will always be warm
                                             
We can go outside and bury our faces in the sun
                                                                             
There's no need to worry 'cause no one will ask us where it is that we came from
                                                
We can walk on Main Street, dance in these honky tonk bars
                     
No one will know who we are

  

                                                
Well you like the water so much you could be a fish
                                                                     
We're right by the ocean so you can go dipping any old time that you wish
                                                         
We'll watch the sunset, make love in the old lifeguard stand
                                                                            
When the setting is done and we've lost the sun we will nap on a blanket upstairs
                                            
We can walk on water, dance in the light of the moon
                   
Honey, just me and you

  

                                                     
We'll wake to a restaurant with fancy napkins and plates
                                                                               
We'll watch the old man as he walks to the big white piano and sits down and plays
                                              
The maitre d' calls me lucky as he pours our wine
                                                                                  
What a beautiful girl and I know in this world that the good ones are so hard to find
                                            
We can walk on red carpet, dance to our favorite songs
                       
We can stay all night long

  

                                             
Sally wake up, you don't have to pretend any more
                                                                                    
'Cause while you were sleeping I drove us to someplace the weather will always be warm
