  • 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 Writer/s: Charles Kenny, J. Fred Coots, Nick Kenny
