« You and I in the Sand »

Oh you and I in the sand

We were building beautiful castles

On that beach where we laughed

The waves carried off our secrets

On a boat by the water’s edge

 

Bridge

Oh you and I, still in the sand

Walking forward along the harbor

 

Chorus

Remember the summer days

On that beach, we fell in love

You and I, hand in hand

Time suddenly stood still

Everything seemed far too perfect

In our dreams, we flew away

 

Oh you and I in the sand

I remember those clear nights

On your lips, a taste of salt

A scent of spices in the air

I was waiting for a spark

 

Bridge

Oh you and I, still in the sand

Walking forward along the harbor

 

Chorus

Remember the summer days

On that beach, we fell in love

You and I, hand in hand

Time suddenly stood still

Everything seemed far too perfect

In our dreams, we flew away

 

I kept the little seashell

That you found for me

It rests upon my beach

When the evening breeze arrives

It tells me your face

 

Bridge

Oh you and I, still in the sand

Walking forward along the harbor

 

Chorus

Remember the summer days

On that beach, we fell in love

You and I, hand in hand

Time suddenly stood still

Everything seemed far too perfect

In our dreams, we flew away

 

I still see myself in your eyes

And our promises hidden beneath the sea
