Story behind the song
A song about my grandfather who while injured in the war met a French nurse, he later returned to his family but kept in contact until his death by his own hand, such is honor and affairs of the heart
Lyrics
Where the shore never ends
Words and music J Taylor
Verse 1
I saw you dancing on the sand far from the realms of every man your taking pictures on the shore your taking pictures once more, I often wondered why you said you'd take the love but never wed the one your heart your hearts set on you'll always miss when there gone
Verse 2
So many lovers have passed your way like ships that sail but never stay the one your heart your hearts set on you'll always miss when there gone, I should of held you tight once more when I took you to that hallowed shore should of told you deep and true I should of said I loved you
Verse 3
So many times I have to say I've dreamed of you in every way I felt your essence in my mind I touched your spirit so fine, now there's crowds of people on the sand as the sun shines down on their sweet hands that look for love and hold it true as tight as I'm holding you
Verse 4
Let's cheer the sailors out at sea that gave their lives to set us free and keep that feeling strong and bold as all of young love grows old, I'd like to skip on this old shore that gave us love and so much more I want to take you back again to where the shore never ends, I'd love to take you back again to where the shore never ends
Add lib till fade
