                         ON THE BEACH      

On the beach                              
Sitting here watching the waves roll upon the vast shore
Wishing I didn't miss you just as much anymore
Wishing that you weren't so far
Out of reach
Once upon a time I knew just where you would be
Sitting beside me watching the rolling sea
Saying that you loved me.  But now I'm
On the beach

Remember when you loved me so much 
That you said you'd never go away
Shame I can't turn back the hands of time such
That you would be as you were that day
                                  But now I'm
On the beach
Wondering where on earth you could be right now
You're probably in the arms of another girl somehow
Instead of being here just
Within my reach
Having fun just giving your life a big whirl
With the one that you call your brand new girl
Forgetting the other girl just sitting
On the beach
