Looking Forward To Seeing You Again
[Chorus 1:]
Looking forward to seeing you again
I'm looking forward to seeing you again
[Verse 1:]
Well it seems like only yesterday that I was living here
And I'm surprised that hasn't change thru'out these many years
That old tree ain't grown much more than six or seven feet
Lord, I sometimes wish that I lived on this street
[Chorus 1]
[Verse 2:]
It's silly but in all my little hometown kinda dreams
I thought of you and sunny skies and ice banana cream
I think of coffee conversation about the local folks
And how things were when I was just a joke
[Chorus 1]
[Verse 3:]
I know I'm foolish when I think that life here never ends
The never changing smile of all my old familiar friends
But I suppose that death is just as real in Olive Hill
As it is in some big city by a mill
[Chorus 1]
[Verse 4:]
Remember all the times I've had to borrow fifteen bucks
How could I be so optimistic so down on my luck
You never mentioned that I had so many things to learn
And you never said it when my back was turned
[Chorus 2:]
And I'm looking forward to seeing you again my friend
I'm looking forward to seeing you again
[Verse 5:]
Well here I am a few miles from your friendly coffee pot
I meant to call and tell you I was here but I forgot
I guess we never changed much from the things that we have been
But I'm looking forward to seeing you again
[Chorus 1]
[Verse 6:]
There ain't too many cities like this pretty town today
And I can hear an old dog barkin' somewhere far away
Perhaps the great great grandson of a dog that I once knew
Barking at somewhere with whom I went to school
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 1]
