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 changing and I looked at her through different eyes We became as one and knew a love without beginning or an end And 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 And when she left me in the fall I knew that this 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 Now she lives a quiet life and is a mother of a little girl And every time I pass her house my thoughts go back into another world Cause I see her little girl her nose is pressed against the window pane And 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
