Song On the Sand

Do you recall that windy little beach we walked along?
That afternoon in fall
That afternoon we met

A fellow with a concertina sang
What was the song?
It's strange what we recall
It's odd what we forget

I heard "la dadada dadada" as we walked on the sand
I heard "la dadada"
I believe it was early September

Through the crash of the waves
I could tell that the words were romantic
Something about sharing
Something about always

Though the years race along
I still think of our song on the sand
And I still try and 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 dadada dadada dadada dadada"
And I'm young and in love

I believe it was early September
Through the crash of the waves
I could tell that the words were romantic
Something about sharing
Something about always

Though the years race along
I still think of our song on the sand

And I still try and 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 dadada dadada dadada dadada"
And I'm young and in love

Ah, Georges - ah, ah
You play my heart like a concertina
You're such a poet
I'm not sure about the crash of the waves
This being the Mediterranean
But basically, you're correct

This is all about love
This wedding
Not - not jealousies, or old wounds
So, Sybil can come
And the three of us will bear witness to our son's marriage together
Hand in hand - in hand

Albin, there's - something else I have to tell you

Georges, I'll be late for the second act!

No, Albin, please, I have to tell you something! (Later, cherie!)
(I mustn't keep my audience waiting)
Tonight, for the first time in his life
He has to be on time
Oh, Albin
You're such a surprise

I hear "la dadada dadada dadada dadada"
And I'm young and in love
