I wrote your name in the sand

But the waves washed it away.

I wrote your name in my heart

And forever it will stay.

I sit night after lonely night

Always dreaming of you.

I cry myself to sleep each night

if you could see what you do.

I wake up every morning to the sun

But there's only rain in my sky

The pain is still there, as fresh as ever

The same old question still unanswered: why?

They say "The love we give is the only love we keep."

I'm finding out that this is very true.

How I wish I could find a way

To make you see how much I love you.

I would trade a thousand tomorrows

To get that one night again

When I thought I had a chance

To be more than just your friend.

I may seem alright but I'm not.

A smile can hide a thousand tears

I have to hide behind my happy facade

Just to keep at bay my fears.

There's a girl in my mirror

Crying tonight

And there's nothing I can tell her

to make her feel alright.

But they also say

"Don't give up, because where there's love

There's hope."

And I, for one, will love you for all eternity

My love will never die

Even if I still wake up every morn to the sun

And there's still only rain in my sky.

And why does my love go forever?

Because...they say..

"A love that is denied,

Only grows stronger."

Your name in the sand

Was washed away

But your name in my heart

Is here to stay.

All these emotions felt

Felt for awhile

All of them are hidden

Behind just one smile.
