Music in the Sand (A Time It Twas) by Gloria Buono-Daly (2025)

 *( Verse 1)*

I chased the sky, barefoot and bold

Through mountain mist and morning cold

Where dreams feel real and fears get kissed

And joy in moments missed

*(Pre-Chorus)*

And the more I see, the more I feel

It’s what’s fleeting that feels real

That’s grace—the calm we breathe

*(Chorus)*

Over peaks, beneath skies wide

Where gold means nothing, hearts confide

Of all the wonders of the land

Most precious, silent sound of music in the sand

*( Verse 2)*

Memory of me, just a child

Ocean roaring, heart ran wild

Down on the sand, a man once wrote

With easel, dancing waves, tattered coat

No stage, no crowd, no grand demand—

Silent music in the sand

*(Pre-Chorus)*

And too young to know what it all meant

But I swear, that moment never went

That’s grace—the calm we breathe

*(Chorus)*

Beaches, salty air, colored sea glass and footprints roam

I found my words, I found my home

Of all the wonders of the land

Most precious, silent sound of music in the sand

*(Bridge)*

Now decades gone, still it plays

That silent song from beachside days

Not every treasure leaves a brand—

Some the silent sound of music in the sand

*(Chorus)*

Silver strands, memories bright

Still I carry what feels right

Of all the wonders of the land

Most precious, music in the sand

*(Outro)*

So if you see me chasing light

It’s not for riches, not for height

For the music, soft and grand—

A time of music in the sand

Twas’ A Time, What A Time It Twas…

Twas’ a time of music in the sand

*(Instrumental)*

Twas’ A Time, What A Time It Twas…

A time of music in the sand

*(end of song)*
