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"
A 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
