Smokie 1975 Living Next Door To Alice / 2 /

Текст песни "Smokie 1975 — Living Next Door To Alice / 2 /"

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
I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up
into Alice's drive

Refrain:

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 want to know
'Cause for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice

Twenty-four years
just waiting for the 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

We grew up together two kids in the park
We carved our initials deep in the bark,
me and Alice
Now she walks through
the door with her head held high
Just for a moment, I caught her eye
A big limousine pulled slowly out off
Alice's drive

Refrain

Sally called back and asked how I felt
And she said, "hey, 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 disapeared

Refrain:

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 want to know
'Cause for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice

Twenty-four years
just waiting for the 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 (twice)
