American Foursquare - Denison Witmer

An American Foursquare

On a tree-lined avenue

What am I going to do now

I sold a house in the city

Moving back to the place I grew

What else can I say to you

Now my new neighbors

Say the flowers on my south side

Are beautiful in the springtime

And my brother and his family

Live three blocks toward the park

I see them every day

A little slow so I'm taking my time

A little slow but it's what I like

It's what I need and like

I've gotta live in the moment

I've gotta move to the slightest touch

Take things that they comes my way

Because the negative predictions

And the apathy are far too much

I chose not to live that way

A little slow so I'm taking my time

A little slow but it's what I like

A little slow but I'll be alright

A little slow but I'll be just fine

Are you implying that I'm not trying

Like if you're bored you're boring

I see the point but I'm all mixed up

Will you tell me will it not enough

I'd be lost without your love

I'm lost without you
