The Last Sandcastle

(ooh, mm-hmm) The sand is warm,

the shovel's in my hand,

the buckets by my side

I've built a thousand sandcastles,

with a happy, joyful pride

The final one will be the best,

with towers reaching high

The children gather 'round to help,

beneath the sunny sky.

I'm the sandcastle builder's last castle,

we shape it with our hands

The moats and walls,

the flags that fly,

across the golden sands The children laugh and dig and pour,

their joy is all my prize

And I will be the castle man,

with happiness in my eyes.

I've seen the children's faces bright,

as they helped me build

I've seen them run and shout with glee,

a happy, joyful thrill

The castles would stand for a day,

then the tide would wash them clean

But the memories of the castles,

the happiest I've seen.

The castle's done, the towers high,

the flags are waving free

The children dance around it,

a happy, joyful spree

The tide is coming in now,

the waves begin to climb

And I am the sandcastle builder,

happy one last time.

(hey!) I'm the sandcastle builder's last castle,

we shape it with our hands

The moats and walls,

the flags that fly,

across the golden sands The children laugh and dig and pour,

their joy is all my prize

And I will be the castle man,

with happiness in my eyes.

With happiness in my eyes. (ahhhh)
