(hmmmmm) Morning paper
on the kitchen table
Steam rises from a porcelain cup
Old screen door swinging on its cable
As the sleepy little town wakes up
Barber shop has got the radio humming
Kids are trading baseball cards outside
Can you hear the evening train a-coming
Carrying the local high school pride
It's a canvas painted with a simple hand
Everyday grace in this quiet land
Sunday dress and a friendly face
Time stands still in this small-town space
(ahhhh, oh
yes)
Soda fountain
with the red stool spinning
Doctor checking
on a little boy's knee
Underneath the porch light we're all grinning
Living out a simple memory It's a canvas painted with a simple
hand
Everyday grace in this quiet land
Sunday dress and a friendly face
Time stands still in this small-town space
No rush to meet tomorrow
No worries on the breeze
Just capturing the moments
Between the apple trees
Just a simple
canvas... (hmmmmm)
