Footsteps In the Sand

Footsteps in the sand
lovers' walking hand in hand
cool sea breezes, setting sun
two people walking now as one.

Waves lap ever gently round their feet
they try to remember, when did they meet?
Was it really ever so long ago?
Does one or the other even know?

A touch of gray here, a wrinkle there
but neither one of them seems to care
theirs is a love beyond body and face
a love that surpasses time and space.

This love they know is both true and strong
something they know will never go wrong
young lovers once more, footsteps in the sand
continue walking as one forever, hand in hand.
