Sometimes life gets in the way of living life Places to go and bills to pay, honey, not tonight If the phone don't ring and the world don't call Honey, that don't bother me at all And to tell the truth, there's nothing I'd rather do Than to hold your hand on the front porch swing While the moon smiles down and the crickets sing It's my favorite thing sittin' here talkin' with you I wouldn't mind hearing everything that's on your mind A night like this is hard to find, where all we've got is time If the phone don't ring and the world don't call Honey, that don't bother me at all And to tell the truth, there's nothing I'd rather do Than to hold your hand on the front porch swing While the moon smiles down and the crickets sing It's my favorite thing sittin' here talkin' with you When the years have flown on by and we're old and gray When the kids are grown and moved away Right here is where I want to stay If the phone don't ring and the world don't call Honey, that don't bother me at all And to tell the truth, there's nothing I'd rather do Than to hold your hand on the front porch swing While the moon smiles down and the crickets sing It's my favorite thing sittin' here talkin' with you It's my favorite thing sittin' here talkin' with you
