Sand in My Shoes
Music by Victor Shertzinger
Lyrics by Frank Loser
From "Kiss The Boys Goodbye" 
​1941

​Sand in my shoes,
Sand from Havana
Calling me to that ever so heavenly  shore
Calling me back to you once more

Dreams in the night,
Dreams of Havana
Dreams of a love I hadn't the strength to refuse
Darling, the sand is in my shoes

Deep in my veins the sensuous strains
Of the soft guitar,
Deep in my soul the thunderous roll of a tropic sea
Under the stars

That was Havana
You are the moonlit memory I can't seem to lose
That's why my life's an endless cruise
​All that is real is the feel of the sand in my shoes
