The Days Of Sand Lyrics

song lyrics The Days Of Sand And Shovels lyrics When I noticed her the first time, I was outside running barefoot in the rain She lived in the house next door Her nose was pressed against the windowpane When I looked at her, she smiled And showed a place where two teeth used to be And I heard her ask her mom if she Could come outside and play with me But soon, the days of sand and shovels Gave way to the mysteries of life And I noticed she was changing 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 Sodapop was still a nickel Jam was on her fingertips Milk was circled on her lips After many years, our love fell silent And at night, I heard her cry And when she left me in the fall, I knew that it would be our last goodbye I was man enough to give her Everything she needed for a while But searching for a perfect love, I found that I could not give her a child Now, she lives a quiet life And is a mother of a little girl And 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 windowpane 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 Sodapop was still a nickel Jam was on her fingertips Milk was circled on her lips (fade out) song lyrics
