Smokie - Living Next Door To Alice

Sally called when she got the word

She said "I suppose you've heard about Alice"

Well, I rushed to the window

And I looked outside

Well, I could hardly believe my eyes

As a big limousine rolled up into Alice's drive

* [Repeat]
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,
cause 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 gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
(No, I'll never get used to
not living next door to Alice)

We grow up together, two kids in park

Carved our initials deep in the park,

me and Alice

Now she walks through the door

with her head held high,

Just for a moment I caught her eyes

As a big limousine pulled slow out of Alice's drive

* [Repeat]
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,
cause 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 gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
(No, I'll never get used to
not living next door to Alice)

Then Sally called back and asked how I felt

She said "I know how to help get over Alice"

She said, now Alice is gone but I'm still here

You know I've been waiting twenty four years.

* [Repeat]
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,
cause 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 gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
(No, I'll never get used to
not living next door to Alice)

Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice...

샐리가 나를 부르더니
말했죠, "엘리스 얘기 들었죠?"
나는 창가로 달려가
창밖을 보았지
내눈을 의심하지 않을 수 없었어
큰 리무진이 엘리스의 집으로 들어오다니...

* [반복]
아, 난 그녀가 왜 떠나는지
어디로 가는지도 모르죠...
그녀대로의 이유가 있겠지만,
나는 이해할 수가 없어요.
24년 동안이나
엘리스의 이웃에 살았는데,
24년이나 내마음을 전하기위해,
눈길이 마주치기만을 기다려 왔는데
지금은 엘리스가 떠난 것을 받아들여야해요.
(아니, 엘리스가 떠난 것이
결코 익숙해 질 것 같지 않아요.)

우리는 어릴때부터 함께 자랐지
나와 엘리스의 이름 첫 글자를
공원 나무에 새겨 놓았죠
지금 그녀가 고개를 들고 문을 나오다
나와 눈이 잠시 마주쳤을 뿐
큰 리무진은 천천히 엘리스의 집을 떠나네

샐리가 다시 불러 기분이 어떠냐고 물었지
그녀는 "엘리스를 잊을 수 있도록 도와줄께요"
이제 엘리스는 갔지만 난 여기 있잖아요.
24년 동안이나 당신을 기다려 왔는데...
