==============================================
Teardrop in the sand
Teardrop in the sand
Who's on that surfboard
who can it be
That pretty surfer girl
who wants love me
But -
- I'm all alone
with no one of my own
So all alone
all I have is
Teardrops in the sand
Teardrops in the sand
When we went surfing
I was so proud
It felt like lying
high on a cloud
But -
- I'm all alone
with no one of my own
So all alone
all I have is
Teardrops in the sand
Teardrops in the sand
You know, once I was so happy
I loved the whole world
and now there's no more fun and surfing
Without my little, oh, surfer girl
yes, without her, oh
I'm all alone
with no one of my own
So all alone
all I have is
Teardrops in the sand
Teardrops in the sand

"Teardros in the Sand"
Who's on the surfboard?
Who can it be?
That pretty surfwer girl
Who wants love me
But, i'm all alone
With no one of my own
So all alone
All i have is
Teardrops in the sand
Teardrops in the sand
When we were surfing
I was so proud
...
...
But i'm all alone
With no one of my own
So all alone
All i have is
Teardrops in the sand
Teardrops in the sand
You know once i was so happy
I loved the whole world
And now there's no more fun and surfing
without my, oh, surfer girl
yes, without her
I'm all alone
With no one of my own
So alone
All i have is
Teardrops in the sand
Teardrops in the sand
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I send you a lyrics update for the pre-velvet songs.
i paid attention and i could fill more gaps,
i could complete some more gaps.
teardrops in the sand
when we were surfing
it felt like crying
high on a cloud...
