Jim Reeves Nickel Piece Of Candy Lyrics

Nickel 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"
