C                                  F                                     
Sally called and she got the word.
                               G       C     G                            
She said I suppose you've heard, about Alice.
       C                                                              
When I rushed to the window, and I looked outside
F                             G                                        
I could hardly believe my eyes.
                                   C           G                       
And the big limosine pulled up, in Alices drive.


      C

  F

C                                            
24 years just waiting for the chance
    F                                    
to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
       G                     G7                C    G

   C                                       F                             
We walked together, two kids in the park
                                         G        C     G   
We inscribed our initials deep in the bark me and Alice
       C                                                             
As she walks to the door with her head held high
F                                  G

                              C             G                          
As the limosine pulls out, of alices drive
