Nana Mouskouri - Nickels and Dimes lyrics

1-

I used to stand on the corner when I was a child

And I would play my guitar and sing as the people went by

The sidewalks were crowded, but I'd just sing louder

'Cause I didn't mind

Spending my time

Spending my rhymes

And singing for nickels and dimes

Chorus

Nickels and dimes

A song at a time

For nickels and dimes

2-

I'd brighten their day

As they'd go on their way

As they'd brighten mine

A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind

I knew that some day, in my own special way

I'd repay all their nickels and dimes

3-

I recall the sidewalks each night as I stand on the stage

As I play my guitar and sing for the people who pay

'Cause finally I made it to what they all call the Big Time

But I still remember I still owe some nickels and dimes

Chorus

4-

A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind

So if you remember a child on the corner of time

You'll know that I promised to repay your

Nickels and dimes

Chorus

Repeat 4

Chorus

Repeat 4
