Canadian Girl Lyrics

He was young back then, an American boy

Summer job in a New England town

Just a college kid, his first week there

Hadn't even learned his way around

By the sea, in the sunlight

Where the sea breeze blows

And the crests of the ocean waves curl

Hangin' out with some new friends he met

A Canadian girl

He saw her that night, out walkin' around

She asked him out for a beer

They talked for a while, then she looked in his eyes

And said, come on, let's get out of here

By the sea, in the moonlight

Where the sea breeze blows

And the crests of the ocean waves curl

He walked hand-in-hand alongside

That Canadian girl

Oh, that Canadian girl

With a hint

Of an English accent

And an impish smile

She had a boy back home

But he was away, so

She could play for awhile

There was never a doubt he would fall

For that Canadian girl

By the sea, in the moonlight

Where the sea breeze blows

And the crests of the ocean waves curl

The perfect start to a summer romance with

That Canadian girl

So they had their fun, for a month or two

As those summer days passed on by

But some sweet things were never meant to last

Guess there's no point in wonderin' why

By the sea, in the daylight

Where the sea breeze blows

And the crests of the ocean waves curl

He reached the end of the line with

That Canadian girl

Oh, that Canadian girl

With a hint

Of an English accent

And an impish smile

She was still young too

Hadn't settled down yet, so

She could play for awhile

But there was never a doubt he would part from

That Canadian girl

Oh, that Canadian girl

Oh, yeah that Canadian girl

He never could forget that Canadian girl

And he never will forget that Canadian girl
