Nickels And Dimes

I used to stand on the corner when I was a child And I would play my guitar and sing as the people went by The sidewalks were crowded, but I'd just sing louder 'Cause I didn't mind Spending my time spending my rhymes And singing for nickels and dimes Nickels and dimes A song at a time For nickels and dimes I'd brighten their day as they'd go on their way As they'd brighten mine A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind I knew that some day, in my own special way I'd repay all their nickels and dimes I recall the sidewalks each night as I stand on the stage As I play my guitar and sing for the people who pay 'Cause finally I made it to what they all call the big time But I still remember I still owe some nickels and dimes Nickels and dimes A song at a time For nickels and dimes A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind So if you remember a child on the corner of time You'll know that I promised to repay your Nickels and dimes Nickels and dimes A song at a time For nickels and dimes A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind So if you remember a child on the corner of time You'll know that I promised to repay your Nickels and dimes Nickels and dimes A song at a time For nickels and dimes A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind So if you remember a child on the corner of time You'll know that I promised to repay your Nickels and dimes Nickels and dimes A song at a time For nickels and dimes A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind... --- Nickels and Dimes - Nana Mouskouri
