Soft Sands

Soft Sands - Dorothy Collins/Barney Kessel Trio

Now that you're gone

I'm alone on the shore

You're not walking with me

So the song of the sea

Isn't sweet anymore

But the soft soft sands

Are the same soft sands

Where we once had such fun

In the warm summer sunshine

There is the rock

That you dared me to climb

Darling that was the place

Where we shared an embrace

For the very first time

Yes the rock still stands

On the soft soft sands

And it's more than

My heart can bear

Why do I still dream

Of that storybook ending

When will my heart ever learn

Why do I sit here pretending

That you will return

Time and again

Since you told me goodbye

I come back to this spot

Cause it's all that I got

To remember you by

And I run my hands

Through the soft soft sands

Where you once told

I will always care

Why do I sit here pretending

That you will return

Time and again

Since you told me goodbye

I come back to this spot

Cause it's all that I got

To remember you by

And I run my hands

Through the soft soft sands

Where you once told

I always care
