Sam Sagewood

Lyrics

[INTRO — acoustic guitar, light ukulele, soft ocean breeze]

[Sam — spoken softly, close mic, smiling]
Some love stories don’t need a fancy chapel…

[small pause]

[Sam — half-sung, warm and playful]
Sometimes forever starts barefoot in the sand.

[VERSE 1 — sung relaxed, romantic]

[Sam — easygoing, sweet, smiling through the words]
You wore white by the water
With the sun in your hair
I had sand on my boots
And a nervous little prayer

No stained glass, no big crowd
Just the waves rolling in
And the look in your eyes
Said, “I’d choose you again”

[PRE-CHORUS — gentle lift]

[Sam — sincere, voice opens slightly]
The tide kept moving slowly
The sky turned ocean blue
And every little thing I wanted
Was standing there with you

[CHORUS — bright, catchy, heartfelt]

[Sam — fuller voice, joyful country-pop lift]
Flip-flops and forever
Sand between our toes
I don’t need a chapel
If the ocean already knows

Flip-flops and forever
Two hearts and one blue sky
Baby, I found heaven
When you said you’d be mine

[POST-CHORUS — light singalong]

[Sam — airy, playful]
Oh-oh, hand in hand
Oh-oh, in the sand
No matter where this road goes
I’m yours and heaven knows

[VERSE 2 — soft drums enter]

[Sam — warm, affectionate]
Your mama wiped a teardrop
Your daddy tried to smile
The gulls flew over softly
Like angels for a while

We danced beside the shoreline
To a song nobody played
Just your laugh and my heartbeat
And the promises we made

[BRIDGE — stripped down, intimate]

[Sam — close mic, tender]
Years may come like waves
Time may pull the shore
But I’ll keep choosing you
Like I chose you before

[FINAL CHORUS — full arrangement, warm harmonies]
[Sam — joyful, emotional, radio-ready]
Flip-flops and forever
Sand between our toes
I don’t need a chapel
If the ocean already knows

Flip-flops and forever
Two hearts and one blue sky
Baby, I found heaven
When you said you’d be mine

[OUTRO — ocean breeze, acoustic guitar fades]

[Sam — half-spoken, smiling]
Yeah…
forever looked good on you.

[Sam — whispered warmly]
Flip-flops and forever.
