Woke up to the sound of pouring rain The wind would whisper and I’d think of you And all the tears you cried, that called my name And when you needed me I came through

I paint a picture of the days gone by When love went blind and you would make me see I’d stare a lifetime into your eyes So that I knew that you were there for me Time after time you there for me

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand Love letters in the sand, I remember you Through the sleepless nights through every endless day I’d want to hear you say, I remember you oh oh

We spent the summer with the top rolled down Wished ever after would be like this You said I love you babe, without a sound I said I’d give my life for just one kiss I’d live for your smile and die for your kiss

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand Love letters in the sand, I remember you Through the sleepless nights through every endless day I’d want to hear you say, I remember you

We’ve had our share of hard times But that’s the price we paid And through it all we kept the promise that we made I swear you’ll never be lonely

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain Washed away a dream of you But nothing else could ever take you away ‘Cause you’ll always be my dream come true Oh my darling, I love you

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand Love letters in the sand, I remember you Through the sleepless nights through every endless day I’d want to hear you say, I remember you

Remember yesterday walking hand in hand Love letters in the sand I remember you Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day I’d wanna hear you say I remember, I remember you, oh yeah
