Bobby Vinton - Days of sand and shovel (HQ audio)

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 day's 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 live grew
Silent and at night I heard her cry
And 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
And searching for a perfect 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
Every time 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

This song is such a very beautiful song,

a song that will always mean the word to me.

It's amazing how this song by Vinton can add majesty to what has become trivialized by so many. Lovely

I have not heard this song in over 40 years! I was about 10 when it came out, and could never remember the name. Thank you so much for the upload.

Back in the early 70's i baught a bunch of 33 1/3 RPM records from my sister, Bobby's greatest hits was 1 of them, and i learned this song word for word, still know them, great song but sad

I have this version and Waylon's on a 45 record. I'm very old :) and my brother wrote this song.

The Winstons' version is by far the best though!

Out of all the music that I love, and even though I'm a heavy metal fan, this is my all time favorite song. I remember the first time I heard it... Ah, memories.
