Love letters in the sand (1957)   (video)   (midi)

 

              C                          F                       D

1. On a day like today we pass the time away,

                G                G7           C     - G

    writing love letters      in the sand.

                    C                                        F                     D

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

                   G                 G7        C   -  F - C

    take our love letters from the sand.

 

                          E           E7             Am

2. You made a vow that you would ever be true,

                     D           D7              G              G7

    but somehow that vow meant nothing to you.

                     C                                  F                           D

    Now my broken heart aches with every wave that breaks

             G               G7           C      - F - C

    over love letters      in the sand.

 

         E - E7 - Am       D - D7 - G - G7

3.    (= first two lines of 2. whistled)

                      C                                   F                          D

     Now my broken heart aches with every wave that breaks

             G               G7            C    - F - C

    over love letters      in the sand.
