Our Town by James Taylor


Long ago, but not so very long ago
The world was different, oh yes it was
You settled down and you built a town and made it live
And you watched it grow
It was your town

Time goes by, time brings changes, you change, too
Nothing comes that you can't handle, so on you go
Never see it coming, the world caves in on you
On your town
Nothing you can do.

Main street isn't main street anymore
Lights don't shine as brightly as they shone before
Tell the truth, lights don't shine at all
In our town

Sun comes up each morning
Just like it's always done
Get up, go to work, start the day,
Open up for business that's never gonna come
As the world rolls by a million miles away

Main street isn't main street anymore
No one seems to need us like they did before
It's hard to find a reason left to stay
But it's our town
Love it anyway
Come what may, it's our town.

This lyric is from the cartoon movie "Cars". This movie I watched numerous time because of my sweet son because he really loves it a lot. Then one day, while I was sitting beside him and when this song started to play... he sang along the highlighted words above. Well, he is only 2 but he manage to get the tune correct and that really amazed me. I really do not know how many time he amazed me and the most important, it make me happy. :)
