On the front porch swing
You can see everything
The old woman that lives just down the lane
She walks by every day using a wooden cane
She always smiles and waves hello
You’ve never spoken but you both know
It’s ok to wave or smile as she passes by
It’s just as good as saying hi
Too many words while you’re just relaxing
Can turn into a problem that’s taxing
Even the Bible says to let your words be few
So the other person doesn’t get tired of you
When you pass by a neighbor on her front porch swing
Just smile and wave and keep doing your own thing
It’s a two-way street you both understand
So just keep smiling and waving your hand
