Wet Flip Flops

[T.C. Elliott]

I've started writing again. You've been warned.

Just back from camping and my wife made mention of her wet flip flops. I tried for something here and didn't quite make it, but I think this came out rather closer than I usually get.

You were playing volleyball
Down on the beach
When you were done I offered you
A sand covered seat
We went for a walk by the waters edge
I loved your shy smile
As we walked we left our wet footprints
Mile after mile

I can still hear those wet flip-flops
And see the current flow
I can still hear those wet flip flops
In the memories from so long ago

Then you had to say goodbye
You had to go home
I promised that I'd stay in touch
We would talk on the phone
Hours to days to weeks to months
Now the years pass by
And I wonder about those 'could a beens'
If I had had the nerve to try

Chorus

And as time goes by
I realize
These memories will always be inside

Chorus

Close enough for me.  I think this is a real winner.  Love it

Real Sweet song! Best ones are always from quirky little memories. Strange what triggers them!


Great track!

One never knows what will spark a song idea.......Wet Flip Flops was the spark for this song and it worked well to get it out. Good performance and writing!

Close to what? There's no need to mimic anybody else IMO - you have a nice style of your own. The unusual pronunciation of the words does remind me remotely of Cat Stevens, but this is still you.

I love how you came up with this one. Great chord progressions as usual and you make it flow along so well!
