Sally called when she got the word, she said "I suppose you’ve heard about Alice"
D G C
Well I rushed to the window and I looked outside, I could hardly believe my eyes

As a big limousine rolled up into Alice’s drive

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 wan’na know

‘Cos for twenty four years I’ve been living next door to Alice

Twenty four years just waiting for a chance to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance

Now I’ve got to get used to not living next door to Alice

We grew up together, two kids in the park, carved our initials deep in the bark, me and Alice

Now she walks through the door with her head held high, just for a moment I caught her eye
D G D
A big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice’s drive

She said "Now Alice is gone, but I’m still here, you know I’ve been waiting for twenty four years"

And the big limousine disapeared
