Charley Pride - The Days Of Sand And Shovels lyrics
[Charley Pride - 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 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 changin' and I
Looked at her through different eyes
We became as one and knew a
Love without beginning or an end
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
When she left me in the fall I said
That it would be our last goodbye
I was man enough to give her
Everything she needed for a home
In searching for a pefect love I found that
I could not give her a child
Now she lives a quiet life and is
The mother of a little girl
Everytime I pass her house my thoughts
Go back into another world
Because I see her little girl her nose
Is pressed against the window pane
She thinks I'm a lonely man who wants
To come inside out of the rain
And I've loved her since
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 changin' and I
Looked at her through different eyes
We became as one and knew a
Love without beginning or an end
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
When she left me in the fall I said
That it would be our last goodbye
I was man enough to give her
Everything she needed for a home
In searching for a pefect love I found that
I could not give her a child
Now she lives a quiet life and is
The mother of a little girl
Everytime I pass her house my thoughts
Go back into another world
Because I see her little girl her nose
Is pressed against the window pane
She thinks I'm a lonely man who wants
To come inside out of the rain
And I've loved her since
