Song on the Sand (From La Cage Aux Folles)

( Remember, remember . . . )

I heard "la, la la la, la la la,"

As we walked on the sand,

I heard "la, la la la, la la la,"

It was early September,

Through the crash of the waves,

I could tell that the words were romantic,

Somethin' about sharing,

Somethin' about always . . .

Though the years race along,

I still think of our song on the sand,

And I still try to search for the words

I can barely remember,

Though the time tumbles by,

There is one thing that I am forever certain of,

I hear "la, la la la, la di da, la da da, la da dumb,"

And I'm young and in love . . .

( la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la. . . )

Though the time tumbles by,

There is one thing that I am forever certain of,

I hear "la, la la la, la da da, la da da, la da dumb,"

And I'm young and in love . . .

( la, la la la, la la la, la la la . . . I'm in love! )
