[1] It's been many years since we were childhood [4] sweethearts
Blissful [1] days I'll never [5] forget
And you [1] know I still love you little [4] darlin'
Though the [1] years bring me [5] only [1] regret

Oh I love you my darling how I love you
If I talk will you try to understand
Makes no difference how you treat me I love you
And I'll still write your name in the sand

Through the long lonely years I have loved you
And I've waited but only in vain
Now I know that I've lost you my darlin'
But I'll still sing the same old refrain

Now I know that your heart was for another
And it grieves me more than I can stand
Though I've lost the only one that I care for
I'll still write your name in the sand
