(lyrics and music by James Seals and Dash Crofts, 1975)
From the albums I`LL PLAY FOR YOU (1975), GREATEST HITS (1975) and
THE SEALS & CROFTS COLLECTION (1979).
Every little thing you do makes me feel good.
And I could be your prince, babe, if I only would.
And I could take you places you think you`d like to go.
And I could show you secrets behind ev`ry closed door.
But it`s only the castles in the sand. I`ll never be your man.
Castles in the sand, they`ll never, never stand.
Like castles in the sand, I`ll never be your man.
Now every little thing you do makes me feel fine.
And I could be your daddy, if it`s on your mind.
And I could buy you diamonds and all them fancy clothes.
And I could give you lovin` like nobody knows.
But it`s only the castles in the sand, love. I`ll never be your man.
Castles in the sand, they`ll never, never stand.
Like castles in the sand, I`ll never be your man.
Your eyes are dancing and saying to me in the sunlight, I want you so,
You are beautiful, a princess. But I`m like the sand when the wind blows.
It`s only the castles in the sand. I`ll never be your man.
Castles in the sand, they`ll never, never stand.
Like castles in the sand, I`ll never be your man.
Castles in the sand, castles in the sand, castles in the sand.
See the castles in the sand.
