Santana

Released: February 1, 1985

[Verse 1]
Your eyes are the color of the sea
You look my way and the waves
Wash over me
Your body shivers with the
Fading light
You say, Baby, let's just make
It last tonight

[Chorus]
And when the morning comes
You take me by the hand
And say our love is written in sand
Written in sand

[Verse 2]
We hear the ocean roar
We're swept away on to some
Distant shore
You whisper secrets of the heart
They keep us close when the
World keeps us apart

[Chorus]
Until tomorrow comes
Time is on our hands
Because this love is written in sand
Written in sand

[Outro]
Nothing lies between
A woman and a man
When their love is written in sand[x3]

Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947 in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco) is a Mexican and American musician who became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered a fusion of rock and Latin American music. Carlos prefers to only play and leave lead vocals to guest singers. The band’s sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2003 Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 20 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He has won ten Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards.
