Lyrics for Song: Dime At a Time
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Jim Ed Brown and the Browns
(Dick Burt)
Can't cotton candy help buy
A little boy by himself
Bought with a dime
His mama gave him
Same thing happened yesterday
When he was sent away.
Deprived of love that he was craving.
Little boy, life remembers the time
It used to be a nickel
Snd now it's a dime
Little boy cry, it's handout time,
Love slips away a dime at a time, a dime at a time.
--- Instrumental ---
He would gladly give away
The ten cent smile they bought today
If that only take the time to hold him
Why he'd be glad he wouldn't mind
Although he's not the crying kind.
If that only care enough
To scold him and to hold him.
Little boy life remember the time
It used to be a nickel
Snd now it's a dime
Little boy cry, it's handout time,
Love slips away a dime at a time, a dime at a time...
