It's been many years since we were childhood sweethearts Blissful days that I never can forget And you know I stilllove 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 still write your name in the sand Through the long, lonely years I have loved you And I've waited, but only in vain Now I know I've lost you my darling But I still sing the same old refrain. 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 still write your name in the sand Now I know that your heart is 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. 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 you name in the sand.
