1. I went to your house to ask if you could play
I asked your mother because it was such a fine day
I wanted you to come on over and lay around in the sand
And stare into your big blue eyes and feel the touch of your hand
CHORUS: In my.... my million-dollar sandbox, we'd play
In my million-dollar sandbox, we'd play
We'd laugh in the sun and romp all day
'Cause we had a secret that would always stay ... in my sandbox, hey, hey
2. Or we could go anywhere your heart would desire
"Cause I was blessed to be a rich child millionaire
I'd send for popsicles, ice cream cones and more
I even gave you a diamond ring from the 5 and 10 cent store .......
CHORUS: In my.... my million-dollar sandbox, we'd play
In my million-dollar sandbox, we'd play
We'd laugh in the sun and run through the sprinkler
Dancing like pixies out on the seashore ... hey, hey
Bridge:
In my sandbox we could build a world
With our plastic pails and spoons
Every sandcastle was covered with gold
When you told me that you loved me
Even though we were three years old ... hey, hey, hey
3. When we grew older baby people still remember the day
We were naked little sandbox twins sitting in the sandbox laughing and playing
We knew something then that no one ever knew
You were falling in love and I was falling for you, too
CHORUS: In my.... my million-dollar sandbox, we'd play
In my million-dollar sandbox, we'd play
We'd jump in the pool just to cool off
Then back to the box so we could talk, talk talk ... in my sandbox
We'd laugh in the sun and run through the sprinkler
Dancing like pixies out on the seashore ... hey, hey
We'd laugh in the sun and romp all day
'Cause we had a secret that would always stay ... in my sandbox, hey, hey
In my million dollar sandbox ... hey, hey
In my million dollar sandbox ... hey, hey
In my million dollar sandbox ... hey, hey
