A NICKEL PIECE OF CANDY
Written by Alex Zanetis
(Recorded December 17, 1963)


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

CHORUS:
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 out 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

REPEAT CHORUS

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

REPEAT CHORUS

"Someday I'll love you"
