PEARLY SHELLS / LOVE LETTERS IN THE SAND

Pearly Shells & Love Letters in the Sand

[C]Pearly Shells …. from the ocean

Shining in the [F]sun covering the [G7]shore

When I [C]see them my heart [F]tells me that I love you

More than [C]all the [G7]little pearly [C]shells

For every [G7]grain of sand upon the beach

I've [C]got a kiss for you

And I've got [G7]more left over

For each star that [D7]twinkles in the [G7]blue

[C]Pearly Shells …. from the ocean

Shining in the [F]sun covering the [G7]shore

When I [C]see them my heart [F]tells me that I love you

More than [C]all the [G7]little pearly [C]shells

On a [C]day like today we [F]pass the time a[D7]way

Writing [G7]love letters [F]in [G7]the [C]sand

How you laughed when I cried

Each [F]time I saw the [D7]tide

Take our [G7]love letters [D7]from [G7]the [C]sand [C7]

You made a [E7]vow that you would [Am]always be true

But some[D7]how that vow meant [F]nothing to [G7]you

Now my [C]poor heart just aches 

With [F]every wave that [D7]breaks

Over [G7]love letters [D7]in [G7]the [C]sand

For every [G7]grain of sand upon the beach

I've [C]got a kiss for you

And I've got [G7]more left over

For each star that [D7]twinkles in the [G7]blue

[C]Pearly Shells …. from the ocean

Shining in the [F]sun covering the [G7]shore

When I [C]see them my heart [F]tells me that I love you
