The Old Neighborhood

The old neighborhood I remember it well
Oh, the stories that she could tell
Backyards, streets, fields, and lawns
Some are still there but most are gone
We played with vigor we laughed and cried
We had some fights, but no one died
The mailman, the barber, a penny candy store
Some good old memories but there no more
We played outside into the night
A shooting star zooms out of sight
Girls with dolls and boys with bats
Little kids with cowboy hats
The cranky neighbor stay off his lawn
The lawns still there and he’s all gone
A snowball fight a sled to slide
Friends were true stood side by side
Thinking back the years gone by
Some make us laugh some make us cry
The neighborhood and friends I remember well
Oh, the stories I could tell…
