Every few years went on vacation to a nice warm climate by the sea. It was so exciting to see and hear the waves pounding, and to the smell the lovely sea-breeze. There is nothing quite the same as the \u201choliday spirit.\u201d No more school, no more worries. We had pocket money every day to enjoy the sun, the surf, the sand and the soda pop pop! The pretty girls were everywhere. At the roller rink, I skated to the song: \u201cLike a tiger\u201d by the fabulous singer Fabian. There are so many things that still burn strongly in my memory from so many years ago. Stop and smell the roses on the way! Don\u2019t worry, be happy! Forget the cares of the world. Just be free! It was so much fun being a kid.<\/p>\n<p>I heard \u201cLove letters in the sand\u201d by Pat Boone, and have a number of versions of him singing this song, where people have added beautiful pictures and videos. This is definitely one of my favourite love songs. So many people love to sing this song, so I have added many other singers, and have tried to do them alphabetically. I hope it makes you happy. This song makes me happy.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HcJ85jINDJ8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andy Williams<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IVQmcwNvVhM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bert Farroach<\/a> \u2013 lapsteel<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aVdqIwOjwaQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best of the British Dance Bands<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XZexGLJcj2w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bill Haley<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PcfLZxCtMOU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Billie Jo Spears \u2013<\/a> nice photos<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=u0uoZq_Ogb0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Billy Vaughn<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QQtyBvjSM8s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bobby Bare<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KJGPuth5hsw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cicci Guitar Condor<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Q4zkvozfJXE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel O\u2019Donnell<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=p8iwNhfn46k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Das Ballroom Sundikat &#8211;
