Teardrop in the Sand

[Verse 1 – Solo, with soft guitar & quiet voice] The night is wide, and the moon is thin I hear your voice like the desert wind You said goodbye, and I let you go Now I just drift where the shadows grow [Doo-Wop Background Vocals – soft & ghostly] **Ooh-ahh… shoo-bop… ooh-oooh…** [Verse 2] I count the stars with an empty hand One teardrop fell in the desert sand The sky won’t speak, but it knows your name And every wind just sighs the same [Chorus – full doo-wop vocals, slow and warm] Teardrop in the sand, that’s all I am tonight No one by my side, just the moon for light Your kiss still lingers, your touch in the breeze Teardrop in the sand, and the wind won’t freeze [Instrumental Interlude – Tremolo guitar + lone trumpet + “shoo-bop” choir in the background] [Verse 3 – spoken/whispered with echo] I called your name into the canyon deep The echo came back… but it didn’t keep This heart’s a ghost with your perfume Still dancing slow in a motel room [Chorus – as before, but with more dynamics in the choir] Teardrop in the sand, that’s all I am tonight No one by my side, just the moon for light Your kiss still lingers, your touch in the breeze Teardrop in the sand, and the wind won’t freeze [Outro – only choir + guitar, fading] Shoo-bop… ooh-ahh… teardrop… in the sand… [fades slowly into the night] [Doo-Wop Background Vocals – soft & ghostly] **Ooh-ahh… shoo-bop… ooh-oooh…** [Verse 2] I count the stars with an empty hand One teardrop fell in the desert sand The sky won’t speak, but it knows your name And every wind just sighs the same [Chorus – full doo-wop vocals, slow and warm] Teardrop in the sand, that’s all I am tonight No one by my side, just the moon for light Your kiss still lingers, your touch in the breeze Teardrop in the sand, and the wind won’t freeze [Instrumental Interlude – Tremolo guitar + lone trumpet + “shoo-bop” choir in the background] [Verse 3 – spoken/whispered with echo] I called your name into the canyon deep The echo came back… but it didn’t keep This heart’s a ghost with your perfume Still dancing slow in a motel room [Chorus – as before, but with more dynamics in the choir] Teardrop in the sand, that’s all I am tonight No one by my side, just the moon for light Your kiss still lingers, your touch in the breeze Teardrop in the sand, and the wind won’t freeze [Outro – only choir + guitar, fading] Shoo-bop… ooh-ahh… teardrop… in the sand… [fades slowly into the night]
