He went away __ `cross the sea,
And then this letter ___ came for me,
Oh, lemme think, lemme think, what can I do?

[Spoken over bass and seagulls]:
(Remember) Walkin' in the Sand
(Remember) Walkin' hand in hand
(Remember) The night was so exciting,
(Remember) Smile was so inviting,
(Remember) Then he touched my cheek,
(Remember) With his fingertips,
The boy who said ___ he'd be true?
What will I do ___ with it now?
Repeat bridge and slowly walk into the sea...

Actually, I don't know what "Eb/A7" is, but I had to call it
something.
The Aerosmith version is OK, I guess, but this is one of those songs
that really doesn't work in the male voice. Maybe Liv Tyler should do
a cover of it with the Wonders.
