From the recording DELRAY BEACH THE SONG
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Whenever you come to Del-Ray Beach, the secret will soon be out,
Be sure you bring your smile, and leave all worries behind,
The sun shines bright in Del-Ray Beach, a place down by the sea,
And for all who stay in Del Ray Beach, love will find you there.
[Chorus]
You'll meet some friendly faces in Del Ray Beach, a city by the sea,
From Georgia down through Del-Ray Beach, they come here so naturally,
So if you come to Del-Ray, you'll find it welcoming to you.
And if you stay here through the summer, you'll make lots of great memories too.
[Verse 2]
So come to Del Ray Beach, and try to take your time,
Summertime's a golden season where the days and nights align,
Walking through the streets of Del Ray Beach can't you see..
Every corner tells a little bit of Florida history,
You'll find interesting people and some who truly care,
There's nothing quite like Del Ray Beach while taking in the salty ocean air.
[Refrain]
All across this nation, people search for a better place,
Looking for a brighter future and always a kinder place,
Stop and look around you, hear the voices of the people in the crowds,
Hope is growing stronger and it's calling us out loud,
Better times are waiting just beyond the bend for me and you,
We'll keep moving toward a brighter future in Del Ray, I know it’s true..
[Verse 3]
We've seen enough division in this world and in our towns,
And it's time to stand together, and not to tear each other down,
Del Ray Beach wants a better life for everyone who dares,
In kindness, hope, and honesty—they are the values we all need,
Del-Ray’s our home, our special place, where neighbors lend a helping hand,
And we'll keep on building a better place in the town and on the beach sands.
[Chorus]
Oh, we gotta get back to the place that we all know and love,
Del Ray Beach is the place where the ocean breezes blow,
On the beach or in the town, it's the place we call home,
We love Del Ray Beach, where the tides and good times roam.
[Bridge]
Time keeps rolling like the waves lapping upon the shore,
And every year we seem to love Del Ray Beach a little more and more,
We'll stand together for our little city home so true,
For Del Ray Beach every day, it’s the place for me and you,
From sunrise on the water to the evening's glow at eight,
There's a magic here in Del Ray Beach that only locals know.
[Verse 4]
So lift your voices high and let your spirits fly out upon the sea.
In Del Ray Beach we'll celebrate the coast and life by the sea,
This is our time for a brand-new day, oh Del Ray Beach my friends,
A place of hope and happiness we’ll cherish through the years,
With every wave that reaches our shore and every seabird's song,
Del Ray Beach keeps reminding us this is where we all belong.
[Chorus]
Oh, we gotta get back to Del Ray Beach, the place we call our home!
It's a state of grace where our hearts are in love with the place have we call home,
On the beach or in the town we'll never be alone,
We love Del Ray Beach, cause it's the place where friendships grow.
[Outro]
For those who come to Del Ray, love will fill your hearts,
And every sunset on our beach will show how much we care,
Together we'll rise, side by side, hand in hand, you'll see,
It's the heart of Del-Ray Beach my friends, where our dreams run to the sea,
So whenever you return Del Ray, you'll always find a friend,
In Del Ray by the sea, the good times never end
