Hand in hand we walk the beach,
as the sun sets on the sea.
Who would have dreamed,
those years ago that this is where we'd be.
I knew your face and knew you smile,
'fore I ever heard your voice.
But once we knew without a doubt,
then you could make your choice.
From passing friends we quickly grew,
to become each others air.
Without whom we would suffocate,
without which we would despair.
And then one day I heard your voice,
calling down the phone.
Telling me you'd made your choice,
that we were free to be alone.
My heart leapt and inside I wept,
not from sadness but from joy.
For now we could at last be one,
The girl could meet the boy.
Everything we talked about,
finally came true.
Its like we'd been this way before,
like we already knew.
Now hand in hand we walk the beach,
as the sun sets on the sea.
In all my years there's never been,
a place I'd rather be.
