letra de the days of sand and shovels - jim ed brown

Loading...

when i noticed her the first time
i was outside runnin’ barefoot in the rain
she lived in the house next door
her nose was pressed against the window pane

when i looked at her she smiled
and showed a place where two t–th used to be
and i heard her ask her mom
if she could come outside and play with me

soon the days of sand and shovels
gave way to the mysteries of life
then i noticed she was changin’
and i looked at her through different eyes

we became as one and knew
a love without beginning or an end
and every day i lived with her
was like a new day dawning once again

and i’ve loved her since every doll was shirley temple
soda pop was still a nickel
jam was on her fingertips
milk was circled on her lips

after many years our love grew silent
and at night i heard her cry
and when she left me in the fall
i knew that this would be our last goodbye
i was man enough to give her
everything she needed for a while
but in searching for a perfect love i found
that i could not give her a child

now she lives a quiet life
and is the mother of a little girl
every time i pass her house
my thoughts go back into another world

because i see her little girl
her nose is pressed against the window pane
and she thinks i’m a lonely man
who wants to come inside out of the rain

and i’ve loved her since every doll was shirley temple
soda pop was still a nickel
jam was on her fingertips
milk was circled on her lips
