Smokie - 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

And I could hardly believe my eyes

This big limousine pulled 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 want to know

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

Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance

To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance

Now I've gotta 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 to the door, with her head held high

Just for a moment, I caught her eye

As the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive

Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go
