I still sit on this beach
Like many times before
Waves crash at my feet
On the very same shore
Where we had our first kiss
On that hot summer night
Watching boats pass
Beneath the clear moonlight
You used to be right here
Holding my hand
Our names over there
Written in the sand
Thought the magic would last
But like the wave of a wand
The tide came and left
And our names were gone
They washed away
Left the sand bare
Now my heart's so empty
God, I wish you were here
I still watch the sun set
From the very same beach
Where we counted the stars
With your arms around me
Where we laughed all night long
Til the sun rose again
Shining it's light
Where our names had once been
You used to be right here
Holding my hand
Our names over there
Written in the sand
Thought the magic would last
But like the wave of a wand
The tide came and left
And our names were gone
They washed away
Left the sand bare
Now my heart's so empty
God, I wish you were here
As these boats pass by
I sit all alone
Remembering our love
Still brings me hope
I write our names in the sand
And watch them wash away
Back out to sea
Where they'll always stay
Where together we'll stay
You used to be right here
Holding my hand
Our names over there
Written in the sand
Thought the magic would last
But like the wave of a wand
The tide came and left
And our names were gone
They washed away
Left the sand bare
Now my heart's so empty
God, I wish you were here
I wish you were here
God, I wish you were here
