Bougainvillea Lyrics

Hot pink embers

Blushing against a backdrop of pure white

Life emerges in places I didn't know existed before

Colors outside an open door

Finding new spaces and filling up my soul

Salt in my hair

Clouds in the air

Fruit in my wine

The way that you smiled

The day the bougainvillea bloomed

Seagulls laughing louder than everyone else at our table

Your hand meets mine

And just like that everything instantly changes

Is this where heaven and earth meet?

Have I found paradise, or is this one more dream?

Salt in my hair

Clouds in the air

Fruit in my wine

The way that you smiled

The day the bougainvillea bloomed

Draping, cascading, from your arms to mine

Jewel tones are sparkling in the daylight

Oh all the places we've yet to explore

You come and meet me at my parent's door

Salt in my hair

Clouds in the air

Fruit in my wine

The way that you smiled

The day the bougainvillea bloomed
