Love Letters in the Sand
Bill Haley And The Comets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
But somehow that vow meant nothing to you
Now my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand
Now my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand
The lyrics of Bill Haley And The Comet's song "Love Letters In The Sand" is a nostalgic recollection of a long-lost love. The singer talks about passing time by writing love letters in the sand, reminiscing about happy moments spent with the person who was once the love of his life. But these memories are not just happy, they are also bittersweet because the love that once brought them together, now only causes pain. The singer expresses his heartbreak at the fact that the person who once made a commitment to him did not keep their promise and his love letters are now lost in the sea, washed away by the waves that symbolize the passing of time.
The lyrics of "Love Letters In The Sand" capture the wistful feeling of nostalgia and lost love, a theme that continues to resonate with listeners today. The song was a commercial success upon its release and has been covered by numerous artists over the years.

On a day like today
Today is a day like any other day.
We pass the time away
We are finding ways to spend our time.
Writing love letters in the sand
We are writing messages of love in the sand.
How you laughed when I cried
You found joy in seeing me upset.
Each time I saw the tide
As the ocean water ebbed and flowed.
Take our love letters from the sand
The waves would erase the love letters we wrote.
You made a vow that you would ever be true
You promised to always be faithful to me.
But somehow that vow meant nothing to you
But you did not keep your promise, and it hurt me deeply.
Now my broken heart aches
My heart is in pain and sorrow.
With every wave that breaks
As each wave crashes onto the shore.
Over love letters in the sand
The love letters that have been washed away.

Great song from later Bill Haley. Jerry Lee Lewis did this in 1956/57 but I think it is even older and was done by Mac Wiseman and was even older again and done in the 1930s. A great song never dies.
