Sally called when she got the word
|
She said: I suppose you've heard 'bout Alice
|
Well, I rushed to the window and I looked outside
|
But I could hardly believe my eyes
|
As a big limousine rolled up into Alice's drive
|
|
{Refrain}
|
I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
|
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
|
'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice
|
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
|
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
|
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice
|
|
Grew up together, two kids in the park
|
Carved our initials deep in the bark, me and Alice
|
Now she walks through the doors with her head held high
|
Just for a moment I caught her eye
|
As a big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive
|
|
{Refrain}
|
|
Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt
|
Then she said: I know how to help get over Alice
|
She said: Now Alice is gone, but I'm still here
|
You know, I've been waiting for twenty-four years
|
And the big limousine disappeared
|
|
{Refrain}
|
