50s - Love Letter In The Sand (Pat Boone)

Love Letter In The Sand

"Love Letters in the Sand" is a popular song first published in 1931. The music was written by J. Fred Coots and the lyrics by Nick Kenny and Charles Kenny.

Ted Black's orchestra had the first major hit. It was a winner for Ruby Valee, Bing Crosby and Vince Hill, among other. But Pat Boone's cover became a major hit in the chart for 5 weeks from May to June 1957, displacing Elvis' "All Shook Up".

Lyrics:

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 from the sand

CHORUS
You made a vow that you would ever be true
But somehow that vow meant nothing to you

Now my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand
