Sand

I wrote your name in the sand
As the waves washed it away  
I stood there helplessly  
Holding onto a single strand  
   
Tiny pictures painted from your heart  
Like snap shots when time stood still  
Just the embellishments of broken brush  
They keep me together as I fall apart  
   
Do you ever think of me  
Do you ever wonder if I do same  
In the silence I whisper your name  
Like faded words on an old marquee  
I never had the courage to say  
The letters just got lost along the way  
   
(Instrumental)  
   
I miss the reflections in your eyes  
Like the sunlight through stain glass  
I guess all the colors left me blind  
You could always see more than I could realize  
   
All the love you gave, now only a souvenir  
The past remains a permanent scar  
The future is up to you and me  
Memories take you so far then they disappear    
   
Do you ever think of me  
Do you ever wonder if I do same  
In the silence I whisper your name  
Like faded words on an old marquee  
I never had the courage to say  
The letters just got lost along the way  
   
I think about you all the time  
I wrote your name in the sand  
As the waves washed it away...
