## Lyrics
[verse]
On the beach at twilight I once wrote your name
Traced it with my finger like a lover's flame
Now the tide comes rolling, washing it away
But my heart still holds it, come what may

[chorus]
Words upon the shoreline, fading with the sea
Every wave that takes them brings you back to me
Love that once was written soft along the sand
Still lives on inside this beating hand

[verse]
Seasons come and seasons go, the shoreline shifts and turns
But the memory of that summer never burns
Out like driftwood, out like foam and spray
It stays with me each and every day

[chorus]
Words upon the shoreline, fading with the sea
Every wave that takes them brings you back to me
Love that once was written soft along the sand
Still lives on inside this beating hand

[bridge]
Some things wash away and some things stay
Some things linger long past yesterday
Though the letters faded with the sand and tide
The love we found has never truly died

[chorus]
Words upon the shoreline, fading with the sea
Every wave that takes them brings you back to me
Love that once was written soft along the sand
Still lives on inside this beating hand
