The sunbeams kissed the sands
my fate was in your hands
the day I met you, dear.
And though I find you're gone
your mem'ry lingers on
I can't forget you, dear.

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 somehow that vow
meant nothing to you.
Now my poor heart just aches
with ev'ry wave that breaks
over love letters in the sand.

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 somehow that vow
meant nothing to you.
Now my poor heart just aches
with ev'ry wave that breaks
over love letters in the sand.

While precious tear drops fall
your mem'ry I recall
and days that used to be.
The skies were blue above
it was the dawn of love
but you've forgotten me.

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 somehow that vow
meant nothing to you.
Now my poor heart just aches
with ev'ry wave that breaks
over love letters in the sand.

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 somehow that vow
meant nothing to you.
Now my poor heart just aches
with ev'ry wave that breaks
over love letters in the sand.
