As On the Shining Sands
As on the shining sands we met,
two souls seeking one silhouette--
enchanted by the sighing seas--
we were so young, love's inductees.
We sang awhile, a sweet duet,
as on the shining sands we met,
a verse to all the world unknown,
pure melody we made our own.
Our golden sun was sinking fast,
we shivered in the cold wind blast,
as on the shining sands we met
when first we started to forget.
Then darkness fell across our beach,
rough tides swept love beyond our reach,
two hearts embittered by regret
as on the shining sands we met.
