As I sit here by your side in fear
And I wonder what to do
For your eye’s are far away, and so oconfused
As the night time stars sail there course towards day
I cry a selfish tear,
For tomorrow’s day may take you far from here

Well they say it won’t take long, before
Your dreams are all but gone
And they say I shouldn’t worry, there’s no pain
But I can, see it in your tired eyes
When a memory comes alive
And your pain inside, as they fade away with time

So close your eyes and dream
Of all the things you’ve seen
Close your weary eyes and dream
For the waves of time are crashing in
And may wash away this scene, like
Sandcastles in the sand

As I sit and gaze in the mirror of life
And recall what has come to pass
And I wonder how much longer, memories last
Do you, even know my tearful face?
As your pictures tend to fade
Do you know my pain as you slowly drift away?

Now close your eyes and see
Your memories of me
Close your weary eyes and dream
For the tides of time have moved on in
And have washed away this scene, like
Sandcastles in the sand

As I sit here by your side in fear
For I know what must be done
For I made a vow, a pledge, so long ago
As these night time stars sail there course
towards day
I cry a helpless plea,
For tomorrow’s day has taken you from me

As I close my eye’s and dream
My mind hears past memories
A song, a word, the touch of your loving hand
And though the waves of time have crashed on in
You know I still can see, your
Sandcastles in the sand
