A Nickel Piece Of Candy

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 --- A Nickel Piece of Candy - Jim Reeves
