Now that you're gone
I'm alone on the shore
You're not walking with me

So the song of the sea
Isn't sweet anymore


But the soft, soft sands
Are the same soft sands
Where we once had such fun

In the warm summer sunshine

There is the rock

That you dared me to climb
Darling, that was the place
Where we shared an embrace

For the very first time

Yes, the rock still stands

On the soft, soft sands
And it's more than
My heart can bear


Why do i still dream
Of that storybook ending

When will my heart ever learn
Why do i sit here pretending
That you will, that you will

That you will return

Time and again

Since you told me goodbye
I come back to this spot
Cause it's all that i got

To remember you by

And i run my hands

Through the soft, soft sands
Where you once said
You'd always care
