The glistening blue water draws me near,
While I stare out the window dreaming far.
The window seems to say "stay where you are",
And I look at the floor thinking how queer
That I feel so stuck though the pool's right here.
All I can dream is how cool the pools are
When you stretch out your feet and see so clear;
There are tiny clear bubbles popping near.
You splash and you laugh just like "har har har"
And there's no place better than where you are.
When I open my eyes I feel the fear,
And know that the pool is not where I'm near.
I lower my head and ride in our car.
