Coast of Messina
Verse 1
She’d planned the trip for three years, been married ten times as long,
Left behind an empty nest, caught a flight over to Rome.
Decades of dreams, raisin’ kids, and payin’ dues,
Now it’s just the two of them, with nothin’ to lose.
Pre-Chorus
Couldn’t wait to see what they’d find on the other side of that pond,
Didn’t know they’d find each other or that they were missin’ at all.
Chorus
Took a stroll around Florence,
Saw the David standing tall
Held hands next to a tower
that wasn’t straight at all.
Hugged her tight on a boat ride
through the streets of Venice
and you should’ve seen ‘em
dance like newlyweds……off the coast of Messina.
Verse 2
The sunset hit those Tuscan vines, her hair caught the light,
That smile lit him up, just like their wedding night.
A few more wrinkles showin’, every line a memory made,
More beautiful to him than those rollin’ rows of grapes
Pre-Chorus
Sometimes when love gets shadowed by life’s demands
You just need a diff’rent song or a brand-new place to dance.
Chorus
Took a stroll around Florence,
Saw the David standing tall
Held hands next to a tower
that wasn’t straight at all.
Hugged her tight on a boat ride
through the streets of Venice
and you should’ve seen ‘em
dance like newlyweds……off the coast of Messina.

Bridge
A steel guitar on Italian waves,
Took ‘em back to their younger days.
‘neath the moon and endless stars.
He whispered , “I love you, more.”
Final Chorus / Outro
Took a stroll around Florence
Saw the David standing tall
Held hands next to a tower
that wasn’t straight at all.
Hugged her tight on a boat ride
through the streets of Venice
and you should’ve seen ‘em
dance like newlyweds……off the coast of Messina.
Off the coast of Messina.
