Sundown all around Walking through the summer's end Waves crash, baby, don't look back I won't walk away again Oh, baby, anywhere you go, We are bound together I begin, baby, where you end Somethings are forever Circle in the sand Round and round Never ending love is what we've found And you complete the heart of me Our love is all we need Circle in the sand Circle in the sand Cold wind, tide moves in Shivers in the salty air Day breaks, my heart aches I will wait for you right here Oh baby when you look for me Can you see forever? I begin, baby, where you end We belong together Circle in the sand Round and round Rising of the moon as the sun goes down And you complete the heart of me Our love is all we need Circle in the sand Circle in the sand Baby can you hear me? Can you hear me calling? Oh, baby, anywhere you go, We are bound together I begin, baby, where you end Somethings are forever Circle in the sand Round and round Never ending love is what we've found And you complete the heart of me Our love is all we need (Circle in the sand)
