Norman Rockwell World

Norman Rockwell World

[Verse 1]
There's two boys skipping stones
On a lazy river bank
Mama's cooking in the kitchen
Supper table giving thing
And grandpa stands with pride
As Old Glory is unfurled
They're on the front porch rocking
In a Norman Rockwell world

[Verse 2]
Got a radio flyer
And I'm racing 'round the square
There's a crowd inside the five and dime
The barer's cutting hair
And the mom and pop's [?] shop
Is full of boys and girls
Living breathing easy
In a Norman Rockwell world

[Chorus]
They're just colors on a canvas
Of simple bygone days
But they paint the perfect picture
Of a time that we've let fade
These days my life
Is spinning like a frantic tilt-a-whirl
What I wouldn't give to live
In a Norman Rockwell world

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Outside my office window
Down on the busy street
People push and shove
And they rush, they don't speak
When my heart gets heavy
And those dark emotions swirl
I close my eyes and dream that
I'm in Norman Rockwell's world

[Chorus]
They're just colors on a canvas
Of simple bygone days
But they paint the perfect picture
Of a time that we've let fade
These days my life
Is spinning like some hell-bent tilt-a-whirl
What I wouldn't give to live
In a Norman Rockwell world
What I wouldn't give to live
In a Norman Rockwell world
