Lyrics
The breeze is off the sea
We’re talking as we eat
Papayas from a tray
Come watch the monkeys play
Well maybe I’m wanting to stay here
And maybe that’s running away
And maybe there’s just something missing in
My life in the U.S. of A.
Costa Rica’s child
She found a new lifestyle
Adopted she may be
But now she’s family
The breeze is off the sea
In two days my plane leaves
Will I be in my seat
Or watching from the beach?
Well maybe I’m wanting to join her
And maybe that’s running away
And maybe there’s just something missing in
My life in the U.S. of A.
