Love Letters In The Sand
On a day like today
We pass the time away
Writing love letters in the sand
How you laughed when I cried
Take our love letters from the sand
You made a vow that you would ever be true
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 song "See Through" by Blue Magic tells a story of a love gone wrong. The lyrics speak of a broken heart that aches with every passing wave, "Over love letters in the sand."

The final lines of the song, "Now my broken heart aches, With every wave that breaks, Over love letters in the sand," convey a sense of longing and lingering pain.

On a day like today
Today, we're just passing time doing something specific and enjoyable
We pass the time away
We're engaging in this activity just to make the day go by
Writing love letters in the sand
We're writing messages of affection in the sand, perhaps as a symbol of a relationship
How you laughed when I cried
You found humor in my distress
Each time I saw the tide
Every time the waves came in and washed away our love letters
Take our love letters from the sand
The waves eliminated any physical trace of our love letters
You made a vow that you would ever be true
You promised to always be faithful
But somehow that vow meant nothing to you
However, you did not follow through on that promise
Now my broken heart aches
My heart hurts deeply
With every wave that breaks
Alluding to the waves that washed away love letters, the pain of loss is incessantly repeated
Over love letters in the sand
Reminding us that the source of the pain was from the love letters that were helpless against the flow of water

No date tonight, or no date for the weekend. Oh, No !
Its only Love, Its only love you seeking .
Still I sit too shy to tell her my feelings. Missing every chance to show her a ball.
Wishing other guys would leave her alone.
Until I can call, I Sit Alone, Again, while she goes out with him.
She holds me tight and shows me good vibration.
And she feels so real, until I awaken .
Still I sit too shy to tell her my feelings. Missing every chance to show her a ball.
Wishing other guys would leave her alone.
Until I can call, I Sit Alone, Again, while she goes out with him.
(MUSIC BREAK)
Still I sit too shy to tell her my feelings. Missing every chance to show her a ball.
Wishing other guys would leave her alone.
Until I can call, I Sit Alone, Again, while she goes out with him.
Sitting here, all alone, waiting by the telephone.
She's gone out with him . Come on home.
I think I finally got the nerve.
She's still out with him.
I think I finally got the nerve.
She's still out with him.
