Soft Sands

Now that you're gone

I'm alone on the shore

You're not walking with me

So the song of the sea

Isn't sweet anymore

But the soft, soft sands

Are the same soft sands

Where we once had such fun

In the warm summer sunshine

There is the rock

That you dared me to climb

Darling, that was the place

Where we shared an embrace

For the very first time

Yes, the rock still stands

On the soft soft sands

And it's more than my heart can bear

Why do I still dream of that storybook ending?

When will my heart ever learn?

Why do I sit here pretending

That you will, that you will, that you will return?

Time and again, since you told me goodbye

I come back to this spot

'Cause it's all that I got to remember you by

And I run my hands through the soft, soft sands

Where you once said you'd always care
