Chorus:
Marilyn, Marilyn, if you could have known
Footprints in the sand are washed by the tide
That comes in, making an empty beach...
New again

Foaming waters pull away
Makes me feel I'm moving
But your memory keeps me still
If they had let you become
Who you wanted to be
Would you still be haunting me

Chorus:
Marilyn, Marilyn, if you could have known
Footprints in the sand are washed by the tide
That comes in, making an empty beach...
New again

Turning to look where you walked
Footprints should be remembered
Or again we walk the same path
If I could understand you
Then I know I'd find my way
And not be pulled beneath the tide

Chorus:
Marilyn, Marilyn, help me to know
Footprints in the sand are washed by the tide
That comes in... making an empty beach...
New again

Footprints fade... walking close to the waters edge
Footprints fade... walking close to the waters edge
Footprints fade... close at the waters edge
