@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Let’s toast to our health,
Celebrate nature’s wealth,
It’s so good to be,
Wise and free.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
I used to wear a gold wedding ring,
Before my wife left me,
I would drift along the shoreline,
My mind sailing a restless sea.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Let’s toast to our health,
Celebrate nature’s wealth,
It’s so good to be,
Wise and free.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
I haven’t found a treasure,
From treacherous depths I’ve plumbed,
Except for shells that sparkle,
On shifting beaches I’ve combed,
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Let’s toast to our health,
Celebrate nature’s wealth,
It’s so good to be,
Wise and free.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
I may go down to the Florida Keys,
Where hurricanes abound,
Spinning islands like strings of pearls,
Wind swept waves tossed around.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Let’s toast to our health,
Celebrate nature’s wealth,
It’s so good to be,
Wise and free.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Mangroves and hardwood hammocks,
Encircling the coral reef periphery,
Moonshine turning turquoise tides,
A quartet in synchrony.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Let’s toast to our health,
Celebrate nature’s wealth,
It’s so good to be,
Wise and free.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Let’s toast to our health,
Celebrate nature’s wealth,
It’s so good to be,
Wise and free.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
