Days Of Sand And Shovels Lyrics - Charley Pride

(Bud Reneau - Doyle Marsh) 

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 days of sand and shovels 

Gave way to the mysteries of life 

Then I noticed she was changin' 

And I looked at her through different eyes.

We became as one and knew 

A love without beginning or an end 

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 love grew silent 

And at night I heard her cry 

When she left me in the fall 

I said that it would be our last goodbye. 

I was man enough to give her everything 

She needed for a home 

In searching for a pefect 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 

Everytime 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...
