🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Oh, the boardwalk’s desertedThere’s nobody down by the shoreAnd the Ferris wheel rideIsn’t turning around any moreThe heat wave and the crowdsAre just old newsBut I’ve still got some sand in my shoes.(Sand in my shoes)Brings mem’ries of the salty air(Sand in my shoes)Whoa-uh-oh-oh, the blanket that we used to shareHow we fell in love down by the seaComes back to me (I’ve still got some sand)With the sand in my shoes.Whoa, ohWhen the water was coldYou would tremble and hold me so tightAnd we’d sit on the beachJust to wait for the stars to come out at nightThe heat wave and the crowdsAre just old newsBut I’ve still got some sand in my shoes.(Sand in my shoes)Whoa-uh-oh-oh(Sand in my shoes)Whoa, la, la, la, la, uh-whoa(Sand in my shoes)Whoa, whoa, whoa.
