lyrics

Champagne and a rose, under our wedding bells
Our cups overflowed, and now they're just shells

We walked on the clouds, buoyed by love's many spells
We once walked on the clouds
Now we're walking on shells

In the sands of time, we drew a line
And the dreams we made, were pearls on the tide, pearls on the tide

Our hearts were bursting, with what love foretells
Our hearts once were bursting, now they're just shells

In the sands of time, we drew a line
And the dreams we made, were pearls on the tide, pearls on the tide

Champagne and a rose, under our wedding bells
Our cups overflowed, and now they're just shells
