Lyrics

SKETCHES IN THE SAND


Two young lovers danced
In the spotlight of a midnight moon.
They only had one song
And that song played on and on
As they held each other through the dawn.

And the waves of the sea
Washed the sand off their feet
And they made an oath
They would never keep.

They made their sketches in the sand
Carved their names with driftwood.
But sketches in the sand
Fade like yesterdays and childhood.
Time and love forget
Those sketches in the sand.

Tomorrow rushes in
I couldn't turn the tide of truth.
I still have that song
It plays like a dream, just a dream
But it fades like radio signals at dawn.

One enchanted evening
How could it be so deceiving.
Intoxicated vows
Left this fool dreaming.

We made sketches in the sand
And carved our names with driftwood (drifting away).
Sketches in the sand
Fade like yesterdays and childhood (yesterday's gone).
