Buried toes in the sand
they're staring at the sea
They're holding their breath
you know he's gotta leave
Says he'll be back soon
for their wedding day
Knows he's a better man
for the choice he made
They both know it's a love
that won't end today
They're both deep in love
till their dyin' days
She said she'd love him forever
write him every day
He knows she meant what she said
when he walked away
He left to fight in a war
a price they both have to pay
The thought of him not around
is driving her insane
They both know it's a love
that won't end today
They're both deep in love
till their dying days
Holding onto their love
though they're far away
They both know it's a love
that won't end today
She thought the letters she writes
would take the pain away
All the tears that she cries
causing paper stains
He sees right through her words
in those paper stains
Holding on to survive
cause of paper stains
They both know it's a love
that won't end today
They're both deep in love
till their dying days
Holding onto their love
though they're far away
They both know it's a love
that won't end today
