LOVE HEART IN THE SAND

We drew a giant love heart,
There in the golden sand.
We carved our initials in it,
Then stood there hand-in-hand.

We vowed we’d be together,
For ever and a day.
Then watched as the tide engulfed it
And washed all our dreams away.

Thank you Kim. I've just corrected a typo in the third line - changed 'out' to 'our'
