Lyrics
Before she found a guru
And a karaoke bar
Before she got a cell phone
A condo and a car
Before she moved beyond
Those days she spent with me,
Connie was a goddess by the sea
Before she married Eddie
Raised a couple kids
Before the lies and liquor
Had them on the skids
Before the years destroyed
Her immortality,
Connie was a goddess by the sea
I can still recall the way the men would stare
The rays of golden sunlight dancing in her hair
Carved in her bikini, Aphrodite on the shore
I promise to remember her, the way she was before
Before the diagnosis
"We've done all we can do"
Before her ravaged body
Failed to pull her through
Before the sun would take her
For all eternity,
Connie was a goddess by the sea
I can still recall the way the men would stare
The rays of golden sunlight dancing in her hair
Carved in her bikini, Aphrodite on the shore
I promise to remember her, the way she was before
Before she found a guru
And a karaoke bar
Before she got a cell phone
A condo and a car
Before she moved beyond
Those days she spent with me,
Connie was a goddess by the sea
