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 pass 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
