A Nickel Piece of Candy

When you were a little girl

And lived across the street

We would walk to the candy store

And I would always treat.



Little big-hearted candy boy

The candy man would say

When I bought you candy bars

To steal your heart away.



Just a nickel piece of candy

Used to make your dreams come true

You'd hold my hand and tell me

Someday I'll love you.



Through the years of growing up

I thought your love grew too

'Til your heart longed for the things

I couldn't buy for you.



Slowly I could feel your love

Begin to fade and die

Then you found another

Much wealthier than I.



Just a nickel piece of candy

Used to make your dreams come true

You'd hold my hand and tell me

Someday I'll love you.



Little girl with golden curls

And eyes for diamond rings

You grew up and soon forgot

So many simple things.



But I wonder if you're happy now

'Cause when you pass me by

I think I see a teardrop

In the corner of your eye.



Just a nickel piece of candy

Used to make your dreams come true

You'd hold my hand and tell me

Someday I'll love you.

Someday I'll love you...
