Nickel Piece of Candy Lyrics

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 pa*s 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"
