Gene Mitchell - Hello Sandpiper

I don't recall just how it happened

I had just woke up from napping

On that island under that palm tree

The sun was hot, humidity steaming

At first I thought I was still dreaming

My eyes were tired, but I could clearly see

You were there among sandpipers

You walked smooth, they were hyper

Running back and forth to dodge the waves

Normally, I would have been mute

You looked so good in your swimsuit

I just found it easy to be brave, and said

Chorus 1

"Hello, Sandpiper, what is it you're looking for

Why search the whole beach, no need to look any more"

You said, "I hear you, you are a man of clever words

But are you talking to me or talking to the birds"

Verse 2

Right then I saw no reason

For me to keep on believing

You would give me some of your time

But then I saw you smiling

So I thought I would keep trying

To see if I might just change your mind

So I said, "I meant you no harm

Didn't mean to set off your alarm

I promise I will take things much more slow"

You said, "Tell me how is it you knew

My friends call me Sandpiper too

I think we'll share some time before I go," I said

Chorus 2

Hello, sandpiper, what is it you're looking for

Why search the whole beach, no need to look any more

You said, "Be patient, I am very hard to catch

Something could be cooking here and we might be a match"

Instrumental

Verse 3

So, the day it lingered on

And like the birds, time it had flown

The sun kept smiling down upon the scene

Soon the day turned to evening

Chemistry, it kept on steaming

Both of us started to believe

That this day was the start of bonding

So much we had in common

We just could not end it there and then

Now the years have proved that some days

Sandpipers do not run away

Each morning I can say to you again

Chorus 3

Hello, Sandpiper, Hello, Sandpiper

Hello, Sandpiper, Hello, Sandpiper
