THE DAYS OF SAND AND SHOVELS
 Bobby Vinton
 
 When I noticed her the first time
 I was outside running barefoot in the rain
 She lived in the house next door
 Her nose was pressed against the window pane
 When I looked at her 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
 Soon the day's of sand and shovels
 Gave way to the mysteries of life
 Then I noticed she was changing and I
 Looked at her through different eyes
 We became as one and knew a love
 Without beginning or an end
 And everyday I lived with her
 Was like a new day dawning once again
 
 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 live grew
 Silent and at night I heard her cry
 And 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
 And searching for a perfect love
 I found that I could not give her a child
 Now she lives a quiet life
 And is the mother of a little girl
 Every time I pass her house
 My thoughts go back into another world
 Because I see her little girl
 Her nose is pressed against the window pane
 She thinks I'm a lonely man
 Who wants to come inside out of the rain
 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
