Lyrics

1. The sunbeams kissed the sands
   My fate was in your hands
   The day I met you dear
   And though I find you’ve gone
   Your memory lingers on
   I can’t forget you dear

Chorus
On a day like today
We passed the time away
Writing love letters in the sand
How you laughed when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters in the sand
You made a vow that you would always be true
But some how that vow meant nothing to you
Now my poor heart just aches
With every wave it breaks
Over love letters in the sand

2. While precious teardrops fall
   Your memory I recall
   And days that used to be
   The skies were blue above
   It was the dawn of love
   But you’ve forgotten me
