Love Letters In The Sand Pat Boone Words by Nick and Charles Kenny and Music by J. Fred Coots -the # 11 song in the 1955-1959 rock era -was # 1 for 7 weeks in 1957 -was also a # 6 hit in 1931 for Ted Black On a day like today We passed the time away Writing love letters in the sand How you laughed when I cried Each time I saw the tide Take our love letters from the sand You made a vow that you would ever be true But somehow that vow meant nothing to you Now my broken heart aches With every wave that breaks Over love letters in the sand Now my broken heart aches With every wave that breaks Over love letters in the sand
