<< Living Next Door To Alice >>

Sally called when she got the word
|
She said "I suppose you've heard about Alice"
|
Well, I rushed to the window
|
And I looked outside
|
Well, I could hardly believe my eyes
|
As a big limousine rolled up into Alice's drive
|
|
* Oh, 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 gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
|
(No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice)
|
|
We grow up together, two kids in park
|
Caved our initials deep in the park,
|
me and Alice
|
Now she walks through the door with her head held high,
|
Just for a moment I caught her eyes
|
As a big limousine pulled slow out of Alice's drive
|
|
Then Sally called back and asked how I felt
|
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 twenty four years.
