Michael Johnson - Miami Beach lyrics

Back in '37
When she first walked down that street
She was such a knockout
She could make your heartbeat skip
Hiding from the winter
Living in a pink hotel
In Miami Beach, in Miami Beach

So she lived a long life
Underneath a pastel sky
She let the ocean bathe her and
The trade winds blow her dry
The sun shone on her beauty
Till it faded clear away
In Miami Beach, in Miami Beach

Now she sit's all day in front of her hotel
As if waiting for somebody to arrive
Yes and now the whole wide
World has dwindled down
To a single wicker chair on Ocean Drive
Million dollar babies walk right
By her everyday
They don't care to know her but
If they should ask she'd say
I must be your future cause
You surely are my past
In Miami Beach, in Miami Beach
