This is about being out all night with great friends, partying, talking,having fun, and then staying up to watch the sunrise.
Song Description
This is a pretty, simple, atmospheric song that evokes the blissful feeling of being on the beach to watch the sunrise with friends after a great all-nighter. Even though this sounds like a ukelele song, it's played with a high strung Tacoma Papoose guitar. Evoking palm tree, white beaches and a golden sunrise.

Lyrics
Watching the sun rise over South Beach
Is where I wanna be
Watching the sun rise after the party
From the night before
Feet make circles in the sand,
No need to hold hands, anymore.
Watching the sun rise
Watching the sun rise
Watching the sun rise over South Beach
Is where I wanna be
Watching the sun rise, the wind blows
The smoke out of my hair
At the party I heard The Pixies
For the first time
Watching the sun rise
Watching the sun rise
Watching the sun rise over South Beach
Is where I wanna be
Watching the sun rise after the gig at
The Chelsea Hotel
Can we ever go back to that place
Where it was so brand new?
Watching the sun rise,
Watching the sun rise,
Watching the sun rise...
