It's been many years since we were childhood sweethearts
Blisaful days that I never shall forget
And you know I stil I love you, little darling
Though the years bring me only regret

Oh, I love you, my darling, how I love you
If I talk will you try to understand
It's no matter how you treat me I love you
And I'll still write your name in the sand

Though the long lonely years I have loved you
And I've waited, but only in vain
Now I know that I've lost you, my darling
But I'll still sing the same old refrain

* Refrain

Now I know that your heart was for another
And it grieves me more than I can stand
Though I've lost the only one that I care for
I will still write your name in the sand

* Refrain
