The View

THE VIEW

VERSE 1

THE SAINT MARY’S RIVER WINDS THROUGH THE VALLEY
COUPLE HUNDRED PEOPLE
CHURCH ON THE HILL
IT TAKES ME BACK TO MEMORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD
HANDS ON THE CLOCK KEEP ON MOVIN’, BUT TIME KEEPS STANDING STILL

VERSE 2

I HAVEN’T BEEN BACK HERE IN A MONTH OF SUNDAYS
BUT I CAN FIND MY WAY AROUND JUST LIKE YESTERDAY
THERE’S THE GENERAL STORE, CHARLIE’S BARBER SHOP
I CAN TASTE THE HOMEMADE PIES IN THE WINDOW AT THE OLD RED BARN CAFE

CHORUS

AND FROM UP ON THE HILL WHAT A VIEW
THE WARM RAYS OF THE SUNRISE KISS THE MORNING DEW
SEE THE LILACS BLOWING IN THE BREEZE
IT’S LIKE LOOKING OUT GOD’S WINDOW WHAT A VIEW
OH WHAT A VIEW

CHORUS

FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL WHAT A VIEW
IT’S LIKE THE SUNSET’S IN THE RIVER WHEN THE DAY IS THROUGH
YOU CAN ALMOST REACH OUT AND TOUCH THE STARS
IT’S LIKE LOOKING OUT GOD’S WINDOW WHAT A VIEW
OH WHAT A VIEW

VERSE 3

CLIMBING UP THE HILL GONNA GO SEE GRANDMA
TAKE HER PRETTY FLOWERS, MAYBE SING HER FAVORITE SONG
GONNA SPEND SOME TIME TALKING TO GRANDPA
AND BEFORE I LEAVE I’LL GET DOWN ON MY KNEES, AND KISS THE STONE

AHH WHAT A VIEW
IT’S LIKE LOOKING OUT GOD’S WINDOW
WHAT A VIEW
