People hand in hand

Future in the plan

Promises we make

Sometimes fade away

Like footprints in the sand



Love's a game of chance

I've come to understand

What my greatest fear is

Someday you'll disappear

Like footprints in the sand



But life was meant to live

And love was meant to give

No-one ever said

That you could depend

On whispers to the wind



Love's a game of chance

I've come to understand

What my greatest fear is

Someday you'll disappear

Like footprints in the sand



So I will build my castle on the sea

And pray that you'll come back to me

And there I'll wait faithfully

For your return, your return



Love's a game of chance

I've grown to understand

Hope will keep you near

She will reappear

Like footprints in the sand

In the sand, in the sand
