Discover the story of the song > Remember (Walkin’ in the Sand) – The Shangri-Las

The protagonist is singing about how her partner went away across the sea two years ago and recently sent her a letter saying he found somebody new. She reminisces about the happy times they shared, like walking hand in hand and kissing softly. She wonders what will happen to the life she gave him and is sad that he's no longer the boy she once knew. The chorus is all about her remembering these happy memories.
