Lyrics

It’s a (C)les son too (F)late for the (C)learn ing,

(F)made of (C)sand,

(G)made of (C)sand.

In the wink of an (F)eye my soul is (C)turn ing

(F)in your (C)hand,

(G)in your (C)hand.

Are you (G)go

ing a way

with no (F)word

of fare (C)well?

Will there (F)be

not a (C)trace

left be (G)hind?

Well, I (C)could have loved you (F)bet ter, did n’t (C)mean to be un kind.

You know (G)that

was the last thing (G7)on my (C)mind.

As we (C)les

son too (F)late

for the (C)learn ing,

(F)made of (C)sand,

(G)made of (C)sand.

In the wink

of an (F)eye my soul is (C)turn ing

(F)in your (C)hand,

(G)in your (C)hand.

Are you (G)go

ing a way with no (F)word of fare (C)well?

Will there (F)be not a (C)trace left be (G)hind?

Well, I (C)could have loved you (F)bet ter, did n’t (C)mean to be un kind.

You know (G)that was the last thing (G7)on my (C)mind.

As we (C)mind.
