World Goes By

[Intro] Kick off the shoes, let the clock slow down A sunny breeze hums along with my town [Verse 1] I lean back on a bench, a goofy grin on my face The street keeps humming, I’m savoring the pace A kite climbs high, a dog spins in the shade I’m laughing at the tiny things that never fade [Chorus] Watch the world roll by, I’m just fine Tiny moments spark a grin in time Feet up, clouds drift by in a rhyme Relax and smile, that’s the plan [Verse 2] A cat on the fence nods like a tiny celebrity The kettle sings a whistle, my thoughts drift free The bus sighs past with its chorus of wheels I treasure these pauses, the simple joys it yields [Chorus] Watch the world roll by, I’m just fine Tiny moments spark a grin in time Feet up, clouds drift by in a rhyme Relax and smile, that’s the plan [Bridge] If life’s a reel, I chase the bloopers with grace Turn every pause into a warm, silly embrace [Chorus] Watch the world roll by, I’m just fine Tiny moments spark a grin in time Feet up, clouds drift by in a rhyme Relax and smile, that’s the plan [Outro] And when the sun slips low, I’m still here Waving to the world as it laughs in my ear
