Solved: Need help with 70's song (from 1973)

Hi:

I'm trying to identify the artist/song title for the following song. Here are the first part of the lyrics.

I recorded in the summer of 1973, the DJ on the tape only mentions that it was a currently a hit.

I suspect that that the artist is Canadian.

Here are the lyrics:

Spending my days lying here on the sand
sun on my face and time on my hands
walking in the cool night breeze holding your hand

dreaming a dream of just you and me
<garbled> .. down by the sea
feeling that you're feeling me when i'm holding your hand

sleeping in the sunshine
having such a good time
happiness is yours and mine when i',m holding your hand

Sea Dog: Holding Your Hands

Thanks for letting us know phop
