Verse:

The sun -beams kissed the sands My fate was in your hands

The day I met you dear

And though I find you've gone Your mem -'ry ling -erss on

I can't for -get you dear.

 

Chorus:

On a day like to -day We passed the time a -way

Writ -ing Love Let -ters In The Sand

How you laughed when I cried each time I saw the tide take our

Love Let -ters In The Sand

You made a vow that you would al -ways be true

But some -how that vow meant noth -ing to you

Now my poor heart just aches With ev -'ry wave it breaks ov -er

Love Let -ters In The Sand.
