I feel so alive with the colors of July
When the sun begins to hide
How I love the California sky
It feels like running away
From everything that’s in my way
When the night turns into day
Take me back to Marina Del Rey
Sleeping on the water
Living like my father did
There will never be another
Time to ever live like this
You’re beautiful like the Venice Sky
My very own Springsteen
The man on the big screen
California summer
I met you on a whim
By the house of easy riders
I can’t remember why you hid
But I won’t forget your sweetness
Or the fire in your heart
Or the music shared between us
Or the moonlight by the dock
Your voice and vulnerability
Makes you worthy of admiration
Your kindness and sincerity
Makes you a man of this generation
You’re beautiful like the Venice Sky
You could be Springsteen
The man on the big screen
