On the Beach

Lyrics and music © 2007 Eleanor Fye

He was there in her dreams a long time ago

He was standing beside her on a beach

She was holding their baby

They were wearing white robes

And the water rushed onto their feet

And she knew she had seen him before he arrived

And she knew that without him she would have survived

And the joy was complete in the dream and on land

It became true the minute her feet touched the sand

Hold the dream

Have faith that the waves will return with the tide

Hold the dream

And know that you always will find your way home

Then he came to her life and held her so close

They were dancing together on a beach

As the sun slowly laid down they took off their robes

And he lifted her off of her feet

And she knew that in life there was no greater bliss

Than the softness and tenderness of his sweet kiss

And the joy was complete in the dream and on land

It became true the minute her feet left the sand

Chorus

Years later he passed on and left her alone

She was spreading his ashes on a beach

And the water then claimed him

And took him beyond where her loving strong arms couldn’t reach

And she knew she would see him even after he’d gone

And she knew that without him she would have to go on

But the joy was complete in the dream and on land

It became true the minute the waves touched the sand

Chorus
