Salty tears and Cape May diamonds

On cloudy days down the shore,
Aunt Cynthia would take us
to see the banner planes take off
or to collect Cape May diamonds.

Denise's Ralphie, is on this mission
to find quartz on beach rocks.
So last night I took him
To Sunset Beach
To find Cape May diamonds.

It ended up being a nice
coincidental tribute
To Aunt Cynthia
on her birthday.

We sat on the beach
In the dark, after sunset
And froze
Hunting for Cape May diamonds
But we did get one
At the souvenir store

So today, after Cape May
diamond hunting,
I picture her riding waves
And walking on the beach

And I raise a birthday
Margarita Toast
Covered in salty tears
To the original Jersey Girl
