Still Say Thank You Live - Smokie Norful Lyrics

Sally called when she got the word
And she said "I suppose you've heard, 'bout Alice"
Well I rushed to the window, and I looked outside
But I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rode up onto Alice's drive
Chorus:
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 wanna know
'Cos for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice
24 years just waitin' for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
We grew up together, two kids in the park
Carved out initials deep in the bark, me an' Alice
Now she walks through 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
(chorus)
Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt
And she said, "I know how to help, to get over Alice"
She said, "Now Alice is gone, but I'm still here
You know, I've been waiting 24 years..."
And the big limousine disappeared
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 wanna know
'Cos for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice
24 years just waitin' for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
