Lyrics
On a day like today, we passed 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
