Let me tell you about a story I was told Set upon an island where my Granddad roamed Sweet sun in the sand Slingshot in his hand Curry rice and paradise It was quite the life And that's only the start of what he told me He said I come from land of blessed freedom Where my grandfathers set their feet on The short stretch of sand that I called my own And that's where I met such a wonderful soul And they said they called her Nell Cuz she was bright and shining And I wanted no less Oh yes he was singing I met my love In the sand Beneath the sun In Trinidad I met my love In the sand Beneath the sun In Trinidad So they courted like a hurricane And then were married in the Port of Spain And their family started to grow Four children; still six more to go But as life has a way to give and to change The island they knew one day wasn't the same So they took another road And years later this is what he wrote He said I came to land of blessed freedom Seeking a new destiny On the dry desert sand I found our new home Not much to see but a future with hope And I sighed and called to Nell And she was sad and crying Cuz she wanted no less Oh yes they were singing We left our home In the sand Goodbye for now Trinidad We left our home In the sand Goodbye for now Trinidad Time passed like skipping stones Over the blue But it froze like strange winter snows The day they got the news And he nursed her and died For years at her side As her memory degraded, their love never faded Till finally it was over On that day, this is what he told her Go to land of blessed freedom I'll see you soon, just wait for me Though this hospital room is far from your home You're going somewhere amazing, just know I love you always Nell And though my eyes are crying I know I am so blessed Oh yes, he was singing Goodbye my love Ain't it sad? You go to rest In Trinidad Goodbye my love Ain't it sad? You go to rest In Trinidad Sixteen more years passed by And they would all remember Oh their loving wife and mother As they gathered each November But as that December wind did blow I think King David, he did know It was time to go on home Christmas morning when he woke He said I've come to land of blessed freedom And I have found my destiny At the gate by the shore I knelt on the ground And smiled at my Lord as he pointed her out And my eyes fell upon Nell And she was bright and shining I expected no less Oh yes they were singing I'm with my love In the sand Always above In Trinidad I'm with my love In the sand Always above In Trinidad I'm with my love In the sand Always above In Trinidad I'm with my love In the sand Always above In Trinidad
