The Days Of Sand And Shovels Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

When I noticed her the first time 

I was outside running barefoot in the rain 

She lived in the house next door 

And her nose was pressed against the window pane 

When she looked at me 

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 

We became as one and 

Had a love without beginning or an end 

And every day she lived with me 

Was like a new day dawning once again

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 knew, that it would be our last goodbye 

I was man enough to give her everything 

She needed for a while 

But in searching for a perfect love 

I found that I could not give her a child

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
