jim ed brown - 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 window pane
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
soon the days of sand and shovels gave way to the mysteries of life
then 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 everyday 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 circkled 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 pefect 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 everytime i p-ss her house my thoughts go back into another world
cause 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 circkled on her lips
