Watch the World Go By

Watch the World Go By

I bought a ticket

So I’m taking a ride

My seat is so cold

Or maybe that’s just my insides

The dreamer in me

Is seeing your face in the trees

Right by the little farmhouse just off the tracks

Where you and I are just sitting back

I hear you say

“Let’s throw our cares away”

And watch the world go by

Watch the world go by

Just you and me, and the gentle breeze,

Watching the world go by

I close my eyes

Sit back and romanticize

What life would be like

If we sealed our great divide

So I’m reaching for you

Across the sea of despair

The hands of the clock are not going to stop

Until we mend this tear

I hear you say

“Let’s throw our cares away”

And watch the world go by

Watch the world go by

Just you and me, and the gentle breeze

Watching the  the world go by

Let’s watch the world go by

Let’s watch the world go by

Just you and me, and the gentle breeze

Watching the world go by

Soon it will be

Just us three

You and me

And the gentle breeze
