This Little Town - Kane's River

There are daffodils blooming 
Out by the front stairs
And the sweet smell of lilacs 
Seems to hang in the air
All through the oak trees 
Sunlight makes shadows 
That dance on the ground
Another spring day is well on its way 
In this little town

He leaves the house early 
And he walks through his door
Flips the sign in the window 
And sweeps the old wooden floor
Day after day he puts on a smile 
For the folks coming 'round
That's just what you do especially when 
You live in this little town

Oh, but late in the evening 
When he's all by himself
He takes down the picture 
That sits on the shelf
He still hears her voice, 
Remembers her touch 
As he slowly sits down
Someday he'll be with her 
And won't have to live in this little town

He thinks of the old days 
When they were still young
And the best times together 
Were still yet to come
But early last winter the angels 
Came calling and soon he had found
It's not much like home when 
You're living alone in this little town

There are daffodils blooming 
Out by the front stairs
The robins are singing 
But he doesn't care
Because it's easier knowing 
They'll be together up there in the end
When his race is run, spring will have come, 
It starts over again

Oh, but late in the evening 
When he's all by himself
He takes down the picture 
That sits on the shelf
He still hears her voice, 
Remembers her touch 
As he slowly sits down
Someday he'll be with her 
And won't have to live in this little town
Someday he'll be with her
In this little town
