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

 And her nose was pressed against the window pane

 

 When she looked at me

 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

 

 We became as one and

 Had a love without beginning or an end

 And every day she lived with me

 Was like a new day dawning once again   

 

 Chorus:

 And I've loved her since

 Every doll was Shirley Temple

 Soda pop was still a nickel

 Jam was on her fingertips

 Milk was circled 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 knew that it would be our last goodbye

 

 I was man enough to give her everything

 She needed for a while

 But in searching for a perfect love

 I found that I could not give her a child

 

 Chorus
