A Nickel Piece of Candy - Jim Reeves

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

Till 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…

Little girl with golden curles 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…

Someday I’ll love you
