B And I'm gonna spend my time E Drawing pictures in the sand for you B And I'm gonna write a time E And I'm gonna name a rendezvous A Sittin' by the sea E Sippin' at my tea B Drawing pictures in the sand E And writing messages to you Pictures in the sand There is nothing I would rather do Than to sit here in the sand And think of things I'd like to say to you Every single day I waste my time away Drawing pictures in the sand And writing messages to you A F#m Pictures in the sand A F#m Pictures in the sand F#m D If I didn't have a dime Bm A Would you still be loving me F#m Bm Though I'd spend my whole life through E A Drawing pictures just for you F#m Bm But I could never draw my love Bm A It's so very hard to do Every single day I waste my time away Drawing pictures in the sand And writing messages to you Pictures in the sand.
