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
Each time I saw the tide
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

Line by Line Meaning

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.
