Days Of Sand And Shovels - Anthony Armstrong Jones[00:00:00]
When I noticed her the first time[00:00:10]
I was outside running barefoot in the rain[00:00:12]
She lived in the house next door[00:00:21]
Her nose was pressed against the window pane[00:00:23]
When I looked at her she smiled[00:00:30]
And showed a place where two teeth used to be[00:00:32]
And I heard her ask her mom[00:00:41]
If she could come outside and play with me[00:00:43]
Soon the days of sand and shovels[00:00:51]
Gave way to the mysteries of life[00:00:53]
Then I noticed she was changing[00:01:01]
And I looked at her through different eyes[00:01:03]
We became as one and knew a love[00:01:11]
Without beginning or an end[00:01:14]
And every day I lived with her[00:01:21]
Was like a new day dawning once again[00:01:23]
And I've loved her since[00:01:29]
Every doll was Shirley Temple[00:01:31]
Soda pop was still a nickel[00:01:37]
Jam was on her fingertips[00:01:42]
Milk was circled on her lips[00:01:47]
After many years our love grew silent[00:01:51]
And at night I heard her cry[00:01:54]
And when she left me in the Fall[00:02:01]
I knew it would be our last goodbye[00:02:03]
I was man enough to give her[00:02:11]
Everything she needed for a while[00:02:13]
In searching for a perfect love[00:02:21]
I found that I could not give her a child[00:02:23]
Now she lives a quiet life[00:02:31]
And is a mother of a little girl[00:02:33]
And every time I pass her house[00:02:41]
My thoughts go back into another world[00:02:43]
Because I see her little girl[00:02:51]
Her nose is pressed against the window pane[00:02:53]
She thinks I'm a lonely man[00:03:01]
Wants to come inside out of the rain[00:03:03]
And I've loved her since[00:03:09]
Every doll was Shirley Temple[00:03:11]
Soda pop was still a nickel[00:03:16]
