(Verse 1 – Solo, with soft guitar & quiet voice)
The night is wide, and the moon is thin
I hear your voice like the desert wind
You said goodbye, and I let you go
Now I just drift where the shadows grow
(Doo-Wop Background Vocals – soft & ghostly)
**Ooh-ahh… shoo-bop… ooh-oooh…**
(Verse 2)
I count the stars with an empty hand
One teardrop fell in the desert sand
The sky won’t speak, but it knows your name
And every wind just sighs the same
(Chorus – full doo-wop vocals, slow and warm)
Teardrop in the sand, that’s all I am tonight
No one by my side, just the moon for light
Your kiss still lingers, your touch in the breeze
Teardrop in the sand, and the wind won’t freeze
(Instrumental Interlude – Tremolo guitar + lone trumpet + “shoo-bop” choir in the background)
(Verse 3 – spoken/whispered with echo)
I called your name into the canyon deep
The echo came back… but it didn’t keep
This heart’s a ghost with your perfume
Still dancing slow in a motel room
(Chorus – as before, but with more dynamics in the choir)
Teardrop in the sand, that’s all I am tonight
No one by my side, just the moon for light
Your kiss still lingers, your touch in the breeze
Teardrop in the sand, and the wind won’t freeze
(Outro – only choir + guitar, fading)
Shoo-bop… ooh-ahh… teardrop… in the sand…
(fades slowly into the night)
(Doo-Wop Background Vocals – soft & ghostly)
**Ooh-ahh… shoo-bop… ooh-oooh…**
(Verse 2)
I count the stars with an empty hand
One teardrop fell in the desert sand
The sky won’t speak, but it knows your name
And every wind just sighs the same
(Chorus – full doo-wop vocals, slow and warm)
Teardrop in the sand, that’s all I am tonight
No one by my side, just the moon for light
Your kiss still lingers, your touch in the breeze
Teardrop in the sand, and the wind won’t freeze
(Instrumental Interlude – Tremolo guitar + lone trumpet + “shoo-bop” choir in the background)
(Verse 3 – spoken/whispered with echo)
I called your name into the canyon deep
The echo came back… but it didn’t keep
This heart’s a ghost with your perfume
Still dancing slow in a motel room
(Chorus – as before, but with more dynamics in the choir)
Teardrop in the sand, that’s all I am tonight
No one by my side, just the moon for light
Your kiss still lingers, your touch in the breeze
Teardrop in the sand, and the wind won’t freeze
(Outro – only choir + guitar, fading)
Shoo-bop… ooh-ahh… teardrop… in the sand…
(fades slowly into the night)
