Lyrics: “Love Letters In The Sand”
On a day like today
We passed the time away
Writing love letters in the sandHow you laughed when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters from the sandYou made a vow that you would ever be true
But somehow that vow meant nothing to youNow my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sandNow my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand
