Hey There, Neighbor

Verse 1

When the sun comes up over the old town square

I hear laughter, I hear feet, I hear whistles everywhere

Smiling faces, shining shoes, little Sally's bright blue hair bow

Marching each and every neighbor down the lane

Chorus

So come on, everybody, raise your voice and sing

Louder, louder, let the memories ring

Old times, good friends, and a hand to hold

Say "hey there, neighbor" while the church bell tolls

Post-Chorus

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Verse 2

Bobby's on his bike, spinning circles in the street

Mama waves out the door, calling supper time is sweet

Windows open, curtains swaying, pie cooling on the sill

Busy bees and busy hearts making dreams stand still

Just around the bend, Mr. Kelly counting stars

Little jokes, skipping stones, chasing bandstand cars

Brisk wind and blue sky, paint the happiest day

Two words: join in, everyone, don't stay away

Chorus

So come on, everybody, raise your voice and sing

Louder, louder, let the memories ring

Old times, good friends, and a hand to hold

Say "hey there, neighbor" while the church bell tolls

Post-Chorus

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Bridge

Now the streetlights glow, shining yellow on the lawn

Still, the laughter grows, though the sun is gone

Calling, calling, every voice belongs

Hearts together, everyone, come along

Chorus

So come on, everybody, raise your voice and sing

Louder, louder, let the memories ring

Old times, good friends, and a hand to hold

Say "hey there, neighbor" while the church bell tolls

Post-Chorus

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey
