FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
(performed by Jean Crompton)

Continental songs steal
Softly into my ear,
Continental glow I feel
And mountains see so clear,
We pass a reservoir
Where the palm-trees stand,
We walk long, we walk far,
We leave footprints in the sand.

Have six hours gone by
Since we heard the ocean roar?
When the sun soared high
And the waves all came ashore,
You said "let's not go home
Like we planned,
On and on let's roam
Let's leave footprints in the sand."

The long treks never end
Or so it seems to me,
We watch the sun descend
And study its beauty,
Midnight meets the dawn
As the days expand,
No fierce wind or storm
Only footprints in the sand.

Into the skies I see
A homeward plane climb,
England for you and me
Was in another lifetime.

Now the air is calm and clean
And the evening is still,
The first stars can be seen
So vivid and so tranquil,
I shall pluck for your hair
A single strand
And make you aware
Of your footprints in the sand.

Into the skies I see
I see a homeward plane climb,
England for you and me
Was in another lifetime.

Accordions shall later play
Music that yours and mine,
We'll waltz the night away,
We'll sip sweet foreign wine,
Moonlight shall illuminate
Your face so tanned,
Moonlight shall illuminate
Your footprints in the sand.
