I used to stand on a corner when I was a child

And I'd play my guitar and sing as the people went by

The sidewalks were crowded but I'd just sing louder cause I didn't mind

Just spending my time, spinning my rhymes and singing for nickels and dimes

Nickels and dimes a song at a time for nickels and dimes

I'd brighten their day as they go on their way and they'd brighten mine

A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind

I knew that someday in my own special I'd repay all their nickels and dimes

I recall the sidewalk each night as I stand on the stage

As I play my guitar and sing for the people who paid

Cause I finally made it to what they all call the big time

But I still remember I still owe some nickels and dimes

Nickels and dimes a song at a time for nickels and dimes

A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind

So if you remember a child on the corner of time

You'll know that I wrote this to repay your nickels and dimes

Nickels and dimes a song at a time for nickels and dimes

A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind

So if you remember a child on a corner of time

You'll know that I wrote this to repay your nickels and dimes

Nickels and dimes a song at a time for nickels and dimes

A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind

So if you remember a child on a corner of time

You'll know that I wrote this to repay your nickels and dimes

This is a Dolly Parton song! She is another of my favorites. Nana is in a different class of singer who is comfortable in most genres of music and had a trained voice. She was already 30 years old and well established when Dolly went to Nashville as a High School grad. Dolly had been singing since she was 10 on the radio regularly with the help of an uncle, and like Celine Dion; one of a large family of children. They all have lovely voices!

A nice and welcome posting. One of my favorite Nana Mouskouri recordings - bouncy, positive, danceable. A rags to riches tale, similar to that of Dolly Parton. Please keep posting, you're a big help to many of us collectors that cannot seem to find these recordings on CD's anymore. Regards.
