Outside My Window

I was trying to take a nap on a dreary afternoon
But I was too distracted by the action outside my room
There were birds singing with passion some sweet old fashioned tune
And a squirrel walking the tightrope above the cherry trees in bloom
So I sat front and center perched up by the window sill
And watched in great amazement as the picture glass was filled
With wondrous animations that gave my heart a thrill
Oh to let this magic movie roll on its endless reel of film
There's a big show outside my window
The leaves are dancing doing tricks with the shadows
I could just sit here and watch the wind blow
Enjoy the big show outside my window
My family took a road trip heading south on highway 5
The reading made me car sick so I leaned my head and tried
To get a little shut eye but I could not shut my eyes
With the action and adventure playing out on the countryside
The trees were whizzing by me going sixty miles an hour
Approaching like a giant was a small town's water tower
As I raced electric lines I felt the radiating power
Of the sunshine on the main line and the wind in the wildflowers
There's a big show outside my window
The clouds are moving making shapes with the shadows
I could just sit here and watch the wind blow
Enjoy the big show outside my window
We've got our eyes locked on our screens
Forget to notice that we're inches from the real thing honey
The greatest movie ever dreamed
But don't you know that if you keep your curtains closed
You'll miss that perfect picture show
The mysterious projector's glow
Oh, oh
There's a big show outside your window
Real people living in the sunshine and shadows
Turn off the tv put down your dumb phone
Enjoy the big show outside your window
Enjoy the big show outside your window
