Lyrics
Verse: 1
When I see your face, I am back in that place,
Where I was when I was but knee high
Just a kid at sweet shop window
Dreaming of things he can?t buy?
Chorus: 1
I wish I could hold you in my arms tonight
Instead, I just lie here and cry out of sight
Like a kid at a sweet shop window
Dreaming of things I can?t buy
Verse: 2
I still recall, those days back at school
It was true all us boys hated girls
So I did too, till the day I met you
With your blue eyes and soft golden curls?
Chorus: 2
The freckles I laughed at would one day become
The pearls in an oyster, the ice on a bun
To a kid at a sweet shop window
Dreaming of things he can?t buy
Verse: 3
Each rose must die, when autumn is nigh
And it?s time for the clocks to go back
But one little hour, cannot save a flower
And God knows I need more than that?
Bridge:
Yet soon I arise from the depths of despair
I pick up my schoolbooks and wander back there
And soon comes the fragrance of summer?s lost rose
I dance on the cobbles, I stand on my toes
Like a kid at a sweet shop window
Dreaming of things he can?t buy
Like a kid at a sweet shop window
Dreaming of things he can?t buy
