Sand Castle, Sand Castle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sand castle sand castle
build it with glee
then watch as the waves
sweep it into the sea
someday i'll learn that these
never will last
a moment of happiness
drowned in the past

sand castle sand castle
why must you go?
just once in my life
wont you stay on the shore?
why can't i realize
why don't i see
that building these castles
just brings misery?

sand castle sand castle
when will i learn?
it only yields sad memories-

sand castle sand castle
sliding away
i wish you could stay here
for more than a day
nothing i do can stop 
what has to be
so maybe i'll just have
to stay off the beach.
