We were young
We thought that it would last
Forever and a day
We didn't know
Our love was like a sandcastle
That washed away

I close my eyes and I remember
The way it used to be
I close my eyes so I can dream of you

On the beach (on the beach)
Feeling free (feeling free)
You were everything to me
You were all that I could see
On the beach (on the beach)
You and me (you and me)
Love would take us for a ride
Like a breaker breaking
High up on the beach

We grew up and I don't even know
Just why we grew up apart
When I look back
I know I should've followed
What was in my heart

Oh, I close my eyes and I remember
The way it used to be
I close my eyes so I can dream of you

On the beach (on the beach)
Feeling free (feeling free)
You were everything to me
You were all that I could see
On the beach (on the beach)
You and me (you and me)
Love would take us for a ride
Like a breaker breaking
High up on the beach

Alone at night
I fall asleep and dream
Of summer nights
When I awake
Sometimes the image lingers on
And it feels so right

Oh, whoa

I close my eyes and I remember
The way it used to be
I close my eyes so I can dream of you

On the beach (on the beach)
Feeling free (feeling free)
You were everything to me
You were all that I could see
On the beach (on the beach)
You and me (you and me)
Love would take us for a ride
Like a breaker breaking high

On the beach (on the beach)
Feeling free (feeling free)
You were everything to me
You were all that I could see
On the beach (on the beach)
You and me (you and me)
Love would take us for a ride
Like a breaker breaking
High up on the beach
Whoa, oh
Oh
