On a day like today

We pass 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 from 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



(Repeat last two verses)
