Sometimes it's just the right moment on the moonlit beach. But you don't have the right words to get across to your romantic partner. In that case, ask for one of the most requested beach music songs ever. It has just the right words.

Keeping the Carolina beach music romance theme going this Monday. Now from a woman's perspective.

This song has been covered a lot, but this artist wrote it and sang it first in 1963. The label distributed the demo unchanged!

JUST ONE LOOK
