Now that you're gone<br />
I'm alone on the shore<br />
You're not walking with me<br />
So the song of the sea<br />
Isn't sweet anymore<br />
<br />
But the soft, soft sands<br />
Are the same soft sands<br />
Where we once had such fun<br />
In the warm summer sunshine<br />
<br />
There is the rock<br />
That you dared me to climb<br />
Darling, that was the place<br />
Where we shared an embrace<br />
For the very first time<br />
<br />
Yes, the rock still stands<br />
On the soft, soft sands<br />
And it's more than<br />
My heart can bear<br />
<br />
Why do I still dream<br />
Of that storybook ending<br />
When will my heart ever learn<br />
Why do I sit here pretending<br />
That you will, that you will<br />
That you will return<br />
<br />
Time and again<br />
Since you told me goodbye<br />
I come back to this spot<br />
Cause it's all that I got<br />
To remember you by<br />
<br />
And I run my hands<br />
Through the soft, soft sands<br />
Where you once said<br />
You'd always care
