Castles in the Sand Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On the beach where young lovers meet
You can see them there as they sit and build
Castles in the sand

[Verse 2]
Heavenly, she's so heavenly
When she smiles at you and she helps you build
Castles in the sand

[Bridge]
The time comes when you stop pretending
For all dreams must come to an ending
Remember what happens to castles of sand
The sea will wash them away, oh

[Verse 3]
On the beach where they used to meet
By the sand and sea, waves have washed away
Castles in the sand

[Outro]
Castles in the sand
Where did they go?
Castles in the sand
Tell me, where did they go?
Castles in the sand
I wanna know where did they go
Castles in the sand
Please tell me where did they go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
