THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

NEW DETACHED HOMES ON A LEAFY STREET
A YOUNG GIRL AND BOY DESTINED TO MEET
WOULD QUICKLY BECOME THE BEST OF FRIENDS
BOTH MAKING A PACT UNTIL TIME ENDS
THROUGHOUT ALL OF THOSE LONG CHILDHOOD YEARS
SHARED ALL OF THEIR DREAMS AS WELL AS TEARS
WHEN THEY REACHED THEIR TEENS A THOUGHT WAS THERE
ONE THEY DECIDED THEY WOULD NOT SHARE

BECAUSE SHE WAS THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
WOH, WOH, WOH, WOH
OH YEH SHE WAS THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

WHEN HE TURNED TWENTY SHE MOVED AWAY
THAT WOULD BRING HIM SO MUCH DISMAY
THEY SAY IN TIME THE MEMORIES FADE
THOUGH THAT'S MERELY JUST A MASQUERADE
AFTER A LONG TIME HE WOULD FIND LOVE
HE COUNTED HIS LUCKY STARS ABOVE
ONE SUMMERS DAY THEY WALKED DOWN THE AISLE
THOUGH CHILDHOOD THOUGHTS STILL MAKE HIM SMILE

HE REMEMBERED THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
WOH, WOH, WOH, WOH
OH YEH SHE WAS THE THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

NOW HIM AND HIS BEAUTIFUL NEW WIFE
SETTLED NICELY INTO MARRIED LIFE
SOON BLESSED WITH A BABY GIRL AND BOY
WHO WERE TO BRING THEM SO MUCH JOY
WITH THEIR OWN HOME ON A LEAFY STREET
LIFE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE COMPLETE
THEN ONE DAY OVER THE GARDEN WALL
A WELL KNOWN VOICE HIS NAME WOULD CALL

ONCE MORE SHE WAS THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
WOH, WOH, WOH, WOH
OH YEH SHE WAS THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

THE YEARS PASSED BY AND HE GREW SO FRAIL
WOULD TIME NOW BRING AN END TO THIS TALE
WHETHER IT'S MERELY JUST DOWN TO FATE
SEEMS THAT THIS STORY WOULD HAVE MORE WEIGHT
WRITTEN BESIDE HIM ON THE NEXT STONE
WAS A NAME THAT HE'D ALWAYS KNOWN
SEEMS THAT SOME THINGS JUST AREN'T MEANT TO END
IN LIFE AND DEATH THEY WERE BEST OF FRIENDS

SHE'LL ALWAYS BE THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
WOH, WOH, WOH, WOH
DESTINED TO BE THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
WOH, WOH, WOH, WOH
OH YEH SHE WAS THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
WOH, WOH, WOH, WOH
SHE'LL ALWAYS BE THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
