Apple of his eye so they say
Tho I'm not ready to say good bye
Sweet as sugar pie, quiet man
No I'm not ready to say good bye
If he'd only had pockets full of pennies
They'd be mine
If I could move cities and states I'd say
Give me more time
He'll always be the gentle man who waited for me
By his backdoor
He'll always be the funny man who made me laugh
Until 84
If he'd only had pockets full of pennies
They'd be mine
If I could move cities and states I'd say
Give me more time
Maybe I'll take all the quarters he gave me
Turn them into time
Go to a wishing well, drop them all in
Now I can say good bye
If he'd only had pockets full of pennies
They'd be mine
If I could move cities and states I'd say
Give me more time
If you had no shirt on your back I know he'd say
Take mine
I would have knelt by your ear whispered
Hey, it'll be just fine
I cannot stay for very long
Cause life pulls me this way and that way
But he says"Hey doll. I love you. I'll see you soon"
