As recorded by LEE MORSE, 4th September 1931:
The sunbeams kissed the sands
My fate was in your hands
The day I met you, dear
And though I find you gone
Your memory lingers on
I can't forget you, dear
On a day like today
We passed the time away
Writing love letters in the sand
How you laughed when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters in the sand
You made a vow that you would always be true
But somehow, that vow meant nothing to you
Now my poor heart just aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand
On a day like today
We passed the time away
Writing love letters in the sand
How you laughed when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters in the sand
You made a vow that you would always be true
But somehow, that vow meant nothing to you
Now my poor heart just aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand

As recorded by LEON REDBONE:
While precious teardrops fall
Your memory I recall
And days that used to be
The skies were blue above
It was the dawn of love
But you've forgotten me
On a day like today
We passed the time away
Writing love letters in the sand
How you laughed when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters in the sand
You made a vow that you would always be true
But somehow, that vow meant nothing to you
Now my poor heart just aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand
(Instrumental Break)
On a day like today
We passed the time away
Writing love letters in the sand
How you laughed when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters in the sand
You made a vow that you would always be true
But somehow, that vow meant nothing to you
Now my poor heart just aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand
