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
