The sound of the closing door
She sits there, would like to smoke
If she had only bought another pocket
Instead of a she just finds a little coin
but she seems very far away
She's collecting pennies in a jar
For some days so near, so far
To buy her satin wedding shoes
With the man that she will choose
She's collecting pennies in a jar
For some days so near, so far
To buy her satin wedding shoes
With the man that she will choose
Cause the men she met before
They all had something so weird
She hides behind a mask now
Just looking straight along the way
Her lonely eyes don't ever get to dance
That there will be her day
Somebody must fit exactly
She's collecting pennies in a jar
For some days so near, so far
To buy her set in wedding shoes
With the man that she will choose
She's collecting pennies in a jar
For some days so near, so far
To buy her set in wedding shoes
With the man that she will choose
She thinks she knows what love is
And every year she feels it more
Isn't this the best that she can do?
She doesn't count the time
So the others must be wrong
She's just waiting for the one to come
And if her life goes on and on forever
She'll be the first penny
She's collecting pennies in her time
For some day so near, so far
To buy her satin wed ding shoes
We're the men that she will choose
She's collecting pennies in a jar
For some day so near, so far
To buy her satin wedding shoes
We're the men that she will choose
Yeah, we're the men that she will choose
Oh, we're the men that she will choose
