Smokie - Living next door to Alice (Lyrics)

Das Erfolgslied von Smokie aus den 70'gern! ^^

[@NobodyTinCan]

I don't know why, but this song always reminds me of my father who died when I was 3 years old. My mother tells me that it might be because they used to sing this song all the time. I don't know about that, all I know is that it reminds me of him... Wonderful song! R.i.p daddy

Thank goodness for a radio station out of Dallas Oregon for playing so many of these forgotten classics.

[@judekpiasi5792]

One night while I was still a kid, this song came on the radio and my dad was so happy and he sang all along and when the song was over he told us the story behind it. I was so very young and that memory should be long lost but here I am in 2021.

[@jorgeluismelara4191]

Tell us the story please.

@@jorgeluismelara4191 The song is about a young man’s long-standing unrequited love toward the girl next door and his neighbor of 24 years, Alice. The protagonist had seen a limousine parked at Alice’s home, learning through mutual friend Sally that she is moving away, and begins to reflect on childhood memories and his friendship with Alice, and becomes heartbroken as he sees Alice get inside the limousine. As he watches the car drive out of sight, the protagonist feels regret about two things: First, Alice leaving without explanation. Second, that in 24 years, he never took the opportunity to express his feelings for her

The song reminds me of a girl (my fiance) long ago in mid 80's her name was Smiso Buthelezi living at Mkuze (in South Africa KwaZulu) she was beautiful inside and outside very humble women, the story is I loved her but it took almost a year to convince her how much I loved her, she left me with a vacuum that no one could fill it up, it was difficult to accept that she was no more, she died in hospital. My her soul rest in peace.

I adore Smokie since my early childhood. In my country they were more popular then Beatles. My brother went to the army and left me home his big tape recorder just with one tape. On the one side was country music, on the other Smokie. I was listening to it 24/7.

I've been searching for this song for 40 years but could not remember the words. I would hear another song that had similar harmonics but it was on the very tip of my memory but wouldnt break free.
