(Sing Along) by Erika Eigen
I want to marry a lighthouse keeper And keep him company I want to marry a lighthouse keeper Won’t that be okay? We’ll have parties on a coral reef And clam-bakes on the shore We’ll invite the neighbours in And seagulls by the score I dream of living in a lighthouse, baby Every single day I dream of living in a lighthouse The white one by the bay So if you want to make my dreams come true You’ll be a lighthouse keeper too We could live in a lighthouse The white one by the bay. I’ll polish his lamps by the light of day So the ships at night can find their way I wanna marry a lighthouse keeper Won’t that… And live by the side of the sea ———————–
