Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Seems like the other day
My baby went away
He went away 'cross the sea
It's been two years or so
Since I saw my baby go
And then this letter came for me
He said that we were through
He found somebody new
Oh, let me think, let me think
What can I do?
[PreChorus]
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
[Chorus]
(Remember) Walking in the sand
(Remember) Walking hand in hand
(Remember) The night was so exciting
(Remember) Smile was so inviting
(Remember) Then he touched my cheek
(Remember) With his fingertips
Softly, softly, we'd meet with our lips
[Verse 2]
Whatever happened to
The boy that I once knew
The boy who said he'd be true
Oh, what will happen to
The light I gave to you?
What will I do with it now?
[Chorus]
(Remember) Walking in the sand
(Remember) Walking hand in hand
(Remember) The night was so exciting
(Remember) Smile was so inviting
(Remember) Then he touched my cheek
(Remember) With his fingertips
(Remember) Softly
Remember
