A Nickle Piece Of Candy lyrics

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...
