Lyrics
Shiny, Pretty, Things ©
Ed Bentley edbentley@mail.com
She was five years old, HE was six, couple neighborhood ragtag kids
SAVE HIS PENNIES, bought her a dime store ring
Two kids in love, TILL THEY HIT THEIR
TEENS
Then she no longer, wore HIS ring
One day she said I'm sorry, can't take this small town thing
Pre chorus
She walked away, got on a bus, she had bigger dreams
Chorus 1
Shiny Pretty Things
All the sparkle money can bring
She moved on, from those dime store days
To expensive shiny, pretty, things
Been 10 years, since she moved away
HE thought of her, everyday
Heard she married well, had almost everything
Then yesterday, at the 5 and dime
HE walked in, there she stood in line
She said OMG, missed you more than anything
I still have you're gift, that pretty dime store ring
Chorus 2
Shiny Pretty Things
All the sparkle money can bring
She'd moved on, from those dime store days
To expensive shiny, pretty, things
Bridge
So THEY had lunch, caught up and laughed
She said I'm free now, so I came back
Thought I'd stop and see, the ole dime store place
Said I thought of you, all these years
Never dreamed, you'd still be here
HE SAID ,MY LUCKY DAY- this might be, the best day of my life
Chorus 3
Shiny Pretty Things
All the sparkle money can bring
She said now I know, I know for sure
I love you more than shiny, pretty, things
Yeah I love you more than any Shiny Pretty Thing
