Nana Mouskouri - Nickels and Dimes lyrics

I used to stand on the corner
When I was a child
And I would play my guitar and
Sing as the people went by
The sidewalks were crowded
But I'd just sing louder
'Cause I didn't mind spending my time
Spending my rhymes
And singing for nickels and dimes

Nickels and dimes a song at a time
For nickels and dimes i'd brighten their day
As they'd go on their way
As they'd brighten mine
A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that
I held in my mind
I knew that some day, in my own special way
I'd repay all their nickels and dimes

I recall the sidewalks each night as
I stand on the stage
As I play my guitar and sing
For the people who pay
'Cause finally I made it to what
They all call the Big Time
But I still remember I still
Owe some nickels and dimes

Nickels and dimes a song at a time
For nickels and dimes 4-
A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that
I held in my mind so if you remember a child
On the corner of time
You'll know that I promised to repay your
Nickels and dimes

Nickels and dimes a song at a time
For nickels and dimes

A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that
I held in my mind so if you remember a child
On the corner of time
You'll know that I promised to repay your
Nickels and dimes

Nickels and dimes a song at a time
For nickels and dimes

A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that
I held in my mind so if you remember a child
On the corner of time
You'll know that I promised to repay your
Nickels and dimes
